An anarchist activist was detained while crossing the Belarusian border on the night of October 28-29, 2020 and accused of “arson” and “terrorism.”
In September 2022, a new criminal case was opened against Dmitry and he was sentenced to five years in prison. Taking into account the previous sentence, he was finally sentenced to 20 years in a maximum security penal colony.
In August 2023, Dmitry was transferred to prison regime for “violating the rules of the order.”
Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives. Parcels are also only possible from relatives. If you want to help, support the family directly if this option is available on the prisoner's page.
