Vitaly was found guilty in September 2021 of influencing a law enforcement officer to change the nature of his activities by threatening to destroy property for a comment he left in the "Borovki 97%" Telegram chat under a photo of Sergeant Major Sergei Balabanovich, and was sentenced to arrest.
In January 2024, pro-government Telegram channels reported Vitaly's re-arrest . In a "confessional video," he stood in front of the camera, handcuffed, and said that he "called for violence against riot police officers only out of emotion."
From August to October 2024, Vitaly faced several court hearings in a criminal case opened under charges of "defamation of Lukashenko," "participation in actions grossly violating public order," "organizing mass riots," "calls for sanctions," and "inciting hatred or enmity." The outcome is unknown.
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
