Before the trial, the woman was under recognizance not to leave the place.
According to the investigation , Tatyana Chekel, while intoxicated at her place of residence, “deliberately and publicly expressed a phrase containing a negative assessment of Alexander Lukashenko, expressed in an indecent, offensive form.”
In the presence of a police patrol, which was called by a pensioner whose mobile phone had disappeared, the woman insulted Lukashenko. The woman’s partner heard this phrase and testified against her in court.
