Volha Vosipava, the wife of political prisoner Tsikhan Vosipau, reports that her husband was punished for violating the internal regulations and placed in a punishment cell. The punishment was that Tsikhan allegedly refused to “stand up and introduce himself” to the administration. Volha writes that she does not particularly believe this version.

On August 15, Tsikhan Vosipau was transferred to colony #15.

On May 19th, Minsk City Court sentenced the 25-year-old engineer to 11 years in the reinforced regime colony. Prosecutor Anton Tsyumentsau had previously asked for the punishment of 12 years in prison.

Vosipau was found guilty under three articles of the Criminal Code at once: attempted murder of a military man (Part 1 Article 14 and 362), participation in mass riots (Part 2 Article 293), and false report (Part 1 Article 400).
