The 61-year-old pensioner was accused of writing an appeal to the Central Office of the Investigative Committee, where she "publicly insulted" a certain Supreme Court judge. The woman sent this appeal to the Investigative Committee at the end of 2023 ("no later than December 5, 2023").
At the trial, Filonova said that there was no intent to insult the judge, and there was no crime in her actions.
However, Judge Rudina found the pensioner guilty and sentenced her to a fine.
Elena Toporkova is 54 years old. She graduated from the Belarusian State Polytechnical Academy (now BNTU).
Elena was likely detained during a raid on those in solidarity with political prisoners that took place at the end of January 2024.
People caught in the raid on those in solidarity with political prisoners, which took place from January 23 to 24, say that the number of those who were subject to criminal cases may be much higher than human rights activists know. Completely non-public people simply made transfers or sent parcels to political prisoners from their own funds.
To ensure that none of political prisoners are left without attention and support the site has a function of verified sendings.
