Violetta Gennadievna Verbitskaya
Violeta graduated from school in Minsk and entered the Warsaw Academy of Arts. The girl is interested in photography and loves traveling.
Three years ago she got married and changed her last name. The couple became famous because the guy, former football player Fedor Verbitsky, proposed to the girl right at the stadium after the end of the game.
The criminal case was prompted by a video the family made in the summer of 2020 calling for an end to violence. Father Gennady testified in court that one day in the summer of 2020, emotionally affected by the data he saw online about the violence used by the officers against protesters, he decided to record a video addressing the officers calling for a justified use of force. He came up with the text of the speech and then asked his daughter to read it. He also asked his wife to speak out about the elections. On the same day, he expressed his wishes for the future of the country on video, and at the end of his speech, he also showed a heart symbol. After that, he found videos on the Internet and edited the video. On the same day, he sent it to several of his friends and relatives.
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.

👉️️ harsh statements regarding ongoing political matters
