Artist. Anna was detained on the evening of November 29, 2023 in the Marks cafe in Minsk. Two days later, the artist was tried under Art. 24.23 Code of Administrative Offenses (unauthorized picketing). According to the protocol, Anna “demonstrated a picture with a white-white flag, which became available to an unlimited number of people.”
Kruk did not admit her guilt and explained to the court that she had indeed placed her painting in the cafe, but there was no image of a white-red-white flag on it. As a result, the court decided to arrest the girl for 13 days.
Anna is currently in custody as part of a criminal case.
