The Leninski District Court of Hrodna fined Mikalai Karnevich, the Hrodna correspondent for Radio Liberty, 1,050,000 rubles for “participation in the unauthorized action” held there on 3 July. The court ignored the document confirming that the journalist worked there.

The journalist considers his case as fabricated and is going to appeal the court verdict at the Hrodna Region Court. The testimony was given by the police officers who hadn't detained him on 3 July.

During the 3 July action Mikhail Karnevich just made photos of the silent protest action which was held in the center of Hrodna.
