Leanid Sudalenka's house was searched, and a criminal case was opened against the former political prisoner
"At this moment, the search of the apartment where my family lives in Homeĺ ended. They don't say what they're looking for, and they haven't taken anything. It became known that I was wanted in Belarus.
Let me remind you that after my release from prison, my personal data was included in the republican list of extremists, and the office of the Viasna Human Rights Center in Homeĺ, which I managed, was recognized as an extremist formation.
A new criminal case has been opened against me under Article 361-4 of the Criminal Code (other assistance to extremist activities).
Earlier, a search took place at the place of my registration in a private house near Homeĺ, and a land plot in lifelong inherited possession was seized," Leanid wrote on December 15 on social media.
In November 2021, he was sentenced to 3 years in prison. The human rights defender was released on July 21, having fully served his sentence. The human rights defender was kept behind bars for two and a half years. Two weeks after his release, he left Belarus.
