Belarusian prisoner in Syria

The women may have worked as dancers, under the contract signed by Karina Koltsa who was captured along with Belarusian Sviatlana Markiyanovich.

Zhodzina inhabitant Zinaida Markiyanovich says her granddaughter went abroad at the end of June.

The Belarusian MFA is trying to verify if the woman captured by Syrian insurgents is really a Belarus citizen.

The Belarusian says her name is Sviatlana Markianovich and admits she worked for Hezbollah in the video distributed on the Internet.

A young woman seen at gun point in the video names herself as Sviatlana Markianovich and says she comes from Belarus.
