Marina, a teacher of Polish and English, was convicted of “participating in group actions that grossly violate public order” in a criminal case opened after a protest that took place in Brest on September 13, 2020. During the protest, people sang and danced in circles, and a water cannon was used against them.
She was sentenced to restricted freedom without referral, but in November 2021 she was transferred to house arrest.
She was released in April 2022, having fully served her sentence as determined by the court.
