Independent journalist Alina Skrabunova to be tried in Mahiliou


The woman is accused of illicit manufacture of media materials.The trial is on July 23.

The police, who came to the journalist, drew an administrative offense protocol.

“I am accused only in manufacturing of media materials. The protocol of administrative offense does not specify the media outlet, said Alina Skrabunova to Radio Liberty. It is only stated that there was no accreditation. There were a lot of people questioned for the case. Most of them did not give any comments. Two women did, so police believe their testimony to be proof of my guilt.”

Probably, the case is about the story of Alina Skarabunava about the Mahiliou  Strommashina factory, which was shown on Belsat.

 

Before the election, the independent journalists once again became a ‘target’.

The other day, Hrodna freelancers Alesya Kirkevich and Alyaksandra Dzyanisava were summoned to the police station. Journalists were once again accused of collaboration with our television channel without accreditation under Part 2 of Article 22.9 ‘illegal production and distribution of media products.’

For making materials for Belsat were also tried Maryna Malchanava, Alyaksandr Lyauchuk, Kanstantsin Zhukousky, Larysa Shchyrakova.
