Elena, a mother of many children, was detained in the spring of 2024. She was initially convicted in an administrative case for “disobeying a lawful order or demand of an official,” but later a criminal case was opened, in which she was convicted of “participating in group actions that grossly violate public order.”
She was released in November 2024 as part of a pardon.
She was detained on April 9, 2024, when she went to the Oktyabrsky district police department of Minsk to pick up her phone, which was taken from her two years ago and was not given back. Let us remind you that in March 2022, Galina was sentenced to 15 days of arrest for leaflets “No to war” - this was considered “unauthorized picketing”. Now they told her that they were ready to give her the phone, so they invited her to the police department.
The essence of the accusation is unknown. It is known that she was detained under Art. 342 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
Trial outcome 14.06.2024
2 years 6 months restrictions of freedom without referral to an open-type correctional facility.
