On October 8, Gleb Panasyuk left Poland, where he had lived and worked for the past few years, for his native Svetlogorsk to visit his parents. On October 9, he called his friends in Poland from Brest to say he had crossed the border and was about to catch a train to Svetlogorsk. But after that, contact with the young man disappeared .

As it turns out, Gleb served his sentence in a temporary detention facility in Gomel on an administrative charge, after which he was transferred to Pretrial Detention Center No. 3 and charged with a criminal offense. Human rights activists have information that his imprisonment is politically motivated.

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.
