Catherine Nikolaevna Gruda
Ekaterina Nikolaevna Gruda is involved in politically motivated repressions in the Republic of Belarus. As a judge of the Baranovichi District Court and the city of Baranovichi, Gruda has been issuing politically motivated sentences against representatives of civil society for a long period of time. As a result of her decisions, Belarusians who opposed the current regime in the country were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. In particular, in October 2022, the judge sentenced political prisoner Mikhail Korzun to four years in prison under general regime conditions for comments on the Internet. On April 4, 2022, she sentenced political prisoner Denis Karaban to 2.5 years in prison in a general regime colony for a comment on a social network. Thus, Ekaterina Gruda bears responsibility for facilitating the repression of representatives of civil society and the democratic opposition. Her work within the judiciary is focused on maintaining the position of the existing government, rather than on enforcing the law. The actions of the Group contribute to human rights violations and increased politically motivated repression in the Republic of Belarus.
