On December 6, Andrei Kuznechyk was arrested for the second time in a row by the Zavodskoy District Court of Minsk for 10 days — again on charges of petty hooliganism. At the trial, Andrei pleaded not guilty. He did not receive any parcels from his relatives, which means that for more than 10 days the journalist has been forced to live without a change of underwear, medicines, and personal hygiene products.
