Svetlana was first convicted under an administrative article for “distribution, production, storage, transportation of information products containing calls for extremist activities or promoting such activities,” after which a criminal case was opened against her for insulting A.G. Lukashenko.
According to the materials of the prosecution in the criminal case, Svetlana on her page in Odnoklassniki allegedly “placed a publication and video with a screensaver containing deliberately false information about Alexander Lukashenko, associated with accusing him of committing especially serious crimes, such as “murder”, “treason” state”, which do not correspond to reality and discredit its authority in the eyes of the public."
According to human rights activists, she will be released in early spring 2024 after fully serving her sentence.
