funeral

He is now in Minsk jail

When the imprisoned politician Pavel Sevyarynets was informed of the death of his father, Belarusian author and translator Kanstantsin Sevyarynets, he was allowed to phonr his mother, but he was barred from being present at the funeral, his wife Volha said on Facebook.

Imprisoned Belarusian activist Vitold Ashurak, who died in the penal colony under questionable circumstances, was buried on May, 26 in his native town of Byarozauka. Those who were attending the funeral could see serious injuries on Vitold’s head, neck, and hands.
