They put enormous pressure on the political prisoner.

They are intensifying pressure on the political prisoner and activist of the European Belarus Civil Campaign Palina Sharenda-Panasiuk in the penal colony. Palina's husband Andrei Sharenda told Charter97.org about it:

"Yesterday they again did not let a lawyer visit Polina. They extended Polina's detention in the basement of the ShIZO (punishment cell) for another 10 days. This is almost 60 days of being in torture conditions. The lawyer cannot visit Palina for almost three months.

There is also information that punishment cells and cell-type premises in all other colonies are full of political prisoners. Preparations for the “amnesty” are in full swing.

Polina has been held in the Zarechcha penal colony N24 since July 2022. She is under enormous pressure there, on the personal order of dictator Lukashenka. The head of penal colony N24, colonel of the internal service Dzmitry Kurlovich, issues orders for torture against Palina. He is responsible for all violations of the law against the political prisoner in the penal colony N24. There is a real threat to Palina's health and life.
