Svetlana is a pensioner and cycling activist from Gomel, chairman of the regional public association “VeloGomel”. Previously, Korol worked as a teacher-organizer. In 2020, a woman joined the Gomel Coordination Council.
According to Viasna , security forces detained Korol in 2020 and conducted “preventive conversations.” At home, Svetlana has an old mother and a husband with cancer, whom she cares for.
Convicted for participating in protests in 2020. Was found from photos from marches. Before the trial, she was free on bail in the amount of 3,700 rubles.
Trial outcome 22.09.2023:
2 years 3 months of restriction of freedom without direction.
The case file notes that the woman “violated public order, disobeyed the legal demands of government officials.” Valentina went out onto the roadway, was in the forefront of the protesters, the investigation claims, and thereby disrupted the work of public transport in the city of Zhlobin.
It should be noted that more than once I heard from witnesses at similar trials that the movement of buses in the city of Zhlobin was changed by the authorities themselves and no protesters interfered with them.
Trial outcome 20.09.2023:
1.5 years of restriction of freedom without direction.
Convicted on 08.08.2023 under administrative articles (19.1 and 19.11, part 2 - distribution of information products included in the republican list of extremist materials). After the administrative punishment, a criminal case was opened for participation in the 2020 protests.
