Police supervision after release from jail

Zmitser Dashkeivch will be placed under police supervision after the release.

BelaPAN news agency has learnt it from Anastasia Dashkeivch, the political prisoner's wife.

“There was a court hearing in prison on August 13. It was decided that Zmitser would be under police supervision for 6 months after his release. He will have to inform the police about his place of residence. He won't be allowed to live home from 20:00 to 6:00. Trips outside town or abroad must be agreed on with the police,” she said citing a lawyer who visited Dashkeivch today.

Zmitser Dashkevich, the leader of the international organisation Young Front, is expected to be released on August 28.

In March 2011, Dashkevich was sentenced to 2 years in prison allegedly for beating two strangers. He was to be released in December 2012, but another criminal case for violating prison rules (article 411 of the Criminal Code) was initiated against him.

Dashkevich received an additional year of imprisonment on August 28, 2012, for “persistent failure to obey orders of prison officers”.
