Torture of European Belarus Activist Continues in Brest Prison

She refused to cooperate with the investigation.

Activist of the European Belarus civil campaign in Brest Palina Sharenda-Panasiuk, who's been in jail No. 7 for more than four months, was "formally charged" by the illegal authorities. Radio Racyja informs.

The mother of two minor children is groundlessly accused under three articles of the Criminal Code: 368 ("Insult to Lukashenka"), 369 ("Insult to a public officer") and 364 ("Violence or threat of violence against an employee of the Interior Ministry).

- It became known that Palina was again placed in an isolation cell for ten days. Palina is on the prophylactic register as "prone to extremism". Since Palina is not cooperating with the investigation and the administration of the detention centre, she is being psychologically and physically pressured. I believe there is a direct threat to the health and life of my wife. I'd like to address the public with a statement that prisoners are tortured in DC No.7. Palina has already spoken about it. Now, she faces revenge for it," said Palina's husband and activist of the European Belarus civil campaign Andrei Sharenda.

A criminal case was brought against him, allegedly for "insulting Lukashenka".
