In 2022, he was sentenced to 17 years in prison, and in February 2023, the Supreme Court reduced the term by 3 months.
In June 2024, Alexander was again charged under the article for "malicious disobedience to the demands of the colony administration," and he was given another year of imprisonment.
In July 2024, his mother, Tatyana Frantskevich, was arrested on charges of "participation in an extremist group." Her sister, Natalia Lobatsevich, the mother of former political prisoner Ilya Lobatsevich, was arrested along with her.
How to write a letter
✏️ A postcard with words of encouragement (a poem by your favorite author, song lyrics, or a beautiful quote). Trust us, even such simple gestures are very meaningful to a person in jail.
✏️ Your life events. To a person who is in isolation for a long time, any story about your routine endeavors will be a window into normal life. Your day-to-day worries and mundane matters are much more interesting than the daily grind of life behind bars.
✏️ It is important to share news. Mention the most notable and interesting occurrences depending on your pen-pal's interests.
✍️️ Remember that every letter is censored. This means that your letters are read by strangers whose main goal is to limit inmates' access to information or to use it against the prisoners or even you.
So try to avoid:
👉️️ harsh statements regarding ongoing political matters
👉 statements against the authorities and public servants
👉 foul language
👉 discussion of the circumstances of the criminal case
