The Lukashists take revenge on the Belarusian patriot.

On the day of his 39th birthday, Belarusian patriot Ihar Alinevich was put in a punishment cell. This was reported by his mother Valiantsina.

“Many thanks to those sincere people who remembered Ihar's birthday! The Zhodzina prison also did not stand aside.

Our penitentiary system, apparently, has such a tradition — to place our political prisoners in punishment cells on their birthdays.

I understand that this is done in order to make it more painful for both the person himself and his family. I heard somewhere that when the soul is open to the light, the dark forces are right there.

I would like to believe that our energy of good has made its way to Ihar through all the obstacles. In turn, he gives everyone the beginning of his fantastic novel,” wrote Valiantsina Alinevich.

Important to note, for the first time the Lukashenka regime tried Ihar Alinevich back in 2011. Then the activist was sentenced to 8 years of imprisonment in a reinforced-security colony.

In 2013, Ihar Alinevich received the main award for the book “Going to Magadan”, and became the first winner of the Frantsishak Aliakhnovich Prize of the Belarusian PEN Center. In 2016, Alinevich became a laureate of the Charter-97 National Prize for the protection of human rights named after Viktar Ivashkevich for 2015 in the nomination “For Personal Courage”.

On the night of October 28-29, 2020, he was detained by border guards while crossing the state border of Belarus. The Lukashenka regime accuses him of “terrorism”. Ihar Alinevich himself stated that he deliberately used the right to revolt.

On December 22, 2021, the court sentenced him to 20 years in a reinforced-security colony.
