Kavalenka’s trial becomes closed

Journalists, human rights activists and relatives of the CCP-BPF activist have been driven out of the building of Vitsebsk Pershamaiski District Court by policemen. However, Radio Liberty informs that 15 strange elderly women are present in the court room.

Let us remind you that Syarhei Kavalenka is accused of numerous violations of “his house penal labour regime” (he was sentenced to it for hoisting a white-red-white flag in Vitsebsk main New Year’s Tree two years ago). He has been kept in Vitsebsk detention centre since December. Kavalenka is facing up to three years of imprisonment.
