The date of the trial has not been set yet

Belarusian journalist Iryna Slaunikava has been in Belarusian custody for six months.

She is being optimistic

2021 has been a grim year for journalists and those who campaign for press freedom, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) says in its recent statement.

Journalist Iryna Slaunikava was transferred from the infamous detention facility on Akrestsin Street to pre-trial detention centre Nr 1 on Valadarski Street in Minsk. The family managed to hand over a parcel with food and essentials to her, the Belarusian Association of Journalists reports.

She has been behind bars since October 30.
