Valentina Vladimirovna Poloz
On September 11, 2023, the State Security Committee reported in a propaganda film that it had detained six people in Belarus on charges of collaborating with the "Security Service of Ukraine" and "preparing terrorist attacks." In the video, some of them appear beaten, some are led around in chains during investigative actions, and one of the detainees was filmed in a KGB pretrial detention center. As a result, three people, including Valentina, were charged under six articles of the Criminal Code at once, including "Treason" and "agent activity."
Valentina, according to pro-government media, together with Nikolai Losovsky, was picking up a package containing weapons and explosives, which had to be buried in the Mozyr district. They did not manage to complete the task, as they were detained.
How to write a letter
✏️ A postcard with words of encouragement (a poem by your favorite author, song lyrics, or a beautiful quote). Trust us, even such simple gestures are very meaningful to a person in jail.
✏️ Your life events. To a person who is in isolation for a long time, any story about your routine endeavors will be a window into normal life. Your day-to-day worries and mundane matters are much more interesting than the daily grind of life behind bars.
✏️ It is important to share news. Mention the most notable and interesting occurrences depending on your pen-pal's interests.
✍️️ Remember that every letter is censored. This means that your letters are read by strangers whose main goal is to limit inmates' access to information or to use it against the prisoners or even you.
So try to avoid:
👉️️ harsh statements regarding ongoing political matters
👉 statements against the authorities and public servants
👉 foul language
👉 discussion of the circumstances of the criminal case
