Additional information:

It has become known that military-political analyst and blogger Yahor Lebiadok has been transferred from a colony to a prison. The court hearing regarding the transfer to a different type of correctional facility and the change of regime conditions took place on December 11, 2024, at the Ivacevichi District Court. In 2022, Yahor Lebiadok was sentenced to five years of imprisonment in a maximum-security colony. The formal reason for the prosecution was his participation in programs on “Euroradio,” even though his detention occurred eight days before the media outlet was designated as an “extremist formation.”
