“Today the "trial" of the owner of "Slutsk for Life" YouTube channel has begun. Uladzimir told the judge about the absence of heating in his temporary detention facility, and he was shaving his hair so that lice would not bite. For three days, he was in Akrestsin Detention Center's punishment cell full of bedbugs. He was held behind bars for more than eight months to be charged today with insulting an official and violating public order. It is about that meeting in Hrodna, at which Siarhei Tsikhanouski was detained. By that time, Neronski had been in prison for three weeks, but this does not bother those who will pass sentence.
All these months in Belarus, they have been beating peaceful people, humiliating the human dignity of Belarusians, but the person who supported my husband faces several years in prison.
But in the new Belarus, it is impossible to call innocent people criminals and criminals – judges and prosecutors. Therefore, today I submit the names of those leading this process for including them in the sanctions lists. These are the "victim" chairman of the Slutsk regional executive committee Andrei Yanchevski, "judge" Alyaksandr Rybakov, "prosecutor" Alyaksandr Levkovich. Everyone who illegally deprives other people of freedom and leads political cases will be included in the Unified Crime Registration Book and held accountable.
In the new Belarus, political prisoners will be rehabilitated and receive compensation on account of those who detained them, accused and tried them. This was the case in democratic countries that got rid of their criminal regime. Uladzimir Neronski and everyone who suffers today for their beliefs are heroes of the new Belarus, and we will treat them accordingly”.
