Sviatlana worked at the "One Window" service of the Kastrychnitski district of Minsk.

In April 2022, Sviatlana was detained and held in custody until the trial. In a "repentance video" she said that she had passed personal data of security officers to the Telegram channel "Black Book of Belarus".

In May 2023, she was found guilty in a criminal case opened under several articles, including "Incitement of hatred or discord" and "Abuse of power or official authority", for passing on this data. The trial, like the appeal hearing, was held behind closed doors.

Sentences

Trial outcome 25.05.2023
5 years 6 months of imprisonment in colony under general regime conditions.
Appeal 25.07.2023
the sentence was upheld.

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.
