Belarusian jailed after returning from Lithuania following denunciation by “activists”

A Belarusian woman was jailed after she returned from Lithuania to Belarus and received a public denunciation.

As Nasha Niva reports, at the end of 2025 Krystsina Vasina returned to Belarus after several years of living in Vilnia. After returning, the girl settled in a village and recorded videos about her life. In February, she shared on social media that she had faced harassment from people who had remained in emigration:

"Some people from emigration, riding a wave of their own craziness and conspiracy theories, deliberately organised hell on earth for me and a collective campaign of harassment (the goal of which was to get me imprisoned, put on a bottle, and so on). That is, in their worldview, if some person managed to return to Belarus and not get arrested, then it is their duty to get that person arrested."

The outlet writes that bloggers Ksenia Pleshkova, Siarhei Piаtruhin and Alesya Parkhomenka tried to draw the attention of the security forces to her alleged connection to the Tsikhanouskaya Office. At least one of them — Parkhomenka — regularly attends receptions at embassies in Cyprus, presenting herself as the self-established "Democratic Embassy of Belarus in Cyprus". These same "activists" previously took part in the hounding of Euroradio editor-in-chief Eugeniy Kazartsev.

Krystsina Vasina was later tried. It is not known exactly what she was charged with. However, it is known that the girl was sentenced to one and a half years of supervised release with a designated placement.
