Syarhei Kavalenka put on probation for three years

Furthermore, the opposition member will have to pay a compensation to the policemen and to the enterprises “City Light” and “Zelenbud”. The statement has been pronounced by Vitsebsk Court today, on May 14.
A Vitsebsk journalist Syarhei Serabro has informed ERB about it:

Serabro: "He has been put on probation for three years, he will not be sent to a colony. He will live at home, go to work and will be supervised by the police. He will not be sent to any colony, penal labour camp or any other correctional work”.
Let us remind you that Kavalenka hoisted a national flag on the main New Year’s Tree in Vitsebsk on January 7. He was accused of hooliganism and disobedience to the police. The Prosecutor asked to imprison Kavalenka for three years.
