Detained in the case of an attempt to set fire to Gaidukevich's house. She worked as an art director at the Europe Hotel in Minsk.
According to the prosecution , from July 14, 2020 to January 6, 2022, on the territory of Belarus, Turkey, Poland, Ukraine and other states, "an organized criminal group was created and operated, the main purpose of which was to commit an indefinite number of extremist crimes. The crimes were supposed to to commit persons radically inclined towards the current government, including former active military, law enforcement officers, primarily special forces, hand-to-hand combat athletes, businessmen and others who shared the views of seizing state power by unconstitutional means.
There are 18 defendants in the case, 15 of whom are in custody, and three were convicted in absentia. The process took four and a half months. At the trial, the main person involved in the case, deputy Oleg Gaidukevich, acted as a witness (for some reason, not the victim) , who stated that they wanted to set fire to his house - they threw three Molotov cocktails. Then only the cat of the deputy suffered.

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
