The criminal case against Klimau was considered by Tsentralny district court of Minsk on 30 July – 1 August. Judge Alena Illiina found Klimau guilty of having violated article 361 of the Criminal Code of Belarus – mass media distribution of calls to forced overturn or change of the constitutional state. The case against Klimau was brought this spring for an internet publication at the web site of the United Civil Party. An international organization Reporters Without Borders condemned the politically motivated harassment of Klimau.
