Political prisoner Dashkevich put into penal cell for 30 days
Relatives and friends of the "Young
Front" leader are shocked by the number of days he had to spend in the
punishment cell.
A lawyer had a meeting with Zmitser Dashkevich
this week. They could talk through a glass barrier under close control from
prison guards, who did permit to touch any topics not relating to legal aspects
of Dashkevich's case. Zmitser was not able to explain why he was punished. The
penitentiary authorities claim he “refused to fulfill requirements”.
According to Dashkevich's fiancee, Anastasiya Palazhanka, Dashkevich wrote in his latest letter he was prepared
for a such a situation, the press service of "Young Front" reports.
The political prisoner is under unprecedented pressure . His new 30-day term in
the punishment cell demonstrates the pressure on him only increases. He has
never received such a long term in isolation before.
