Dmitriy Nikolaevich Strebkov
Strebkov Dmitry Nikolaevich is an accomplice to crimes against the rights and freedoms of citizens of Belarus.
As the head of the correctional institution "Prison No. 8 in Zhodino", Strebkov bears personal responsibility for the cruel and inhuman treatment of prisoners and the torture used against them.
Under Strebkov's leadership, Prison No. 8 (SIZO) in Zhodino became one of the most cruel in the country - in terms of detention conditions and in relation to prisoners. This is the only correctional institution in the Republic of Belarus where defendants and convicted persons are held at the same time, including persons sentenced to life imprisonment. At the same time, the detention conditions are equally harsh for everyone. In particular, prisoners are subjected to beatings, do not receive parcels, do not receive letters, are subjected to torture by hunger, lack of walks, confinement in cramped cells together with people without a fixed abode, for additional torture by unsanitary conditions.
For his crimes, he was included in the sanctions lists of EU countries.
Thus, the actions of Dmitry Nikolaevich Strebkov violate the rights of citizens of the Republic of Belarus and pose a threat to their lives. They are also aimed at strengthening the repressive regime in force in the country.

| 26.01.2024 | Перед тюрьмой у него была проблема с ногами, возможно суставы - он ходил с подлокотным костылем. Жаловался, что состояние ухудшилось после ШИЗО, куда его помешали накануне. Когда его вели на ПКТ у него костыль забрали. Видели как он выходил, держась рукой за стену общежития. Из разговоров с ним он сказал, что его жену убили, а дочь похитили (намекая, видимо, что его жена умерла в больнице из-за низкого уровня медицины, а дочь, оставленную без попечителей, отправили в интернат). |
