The mother and friends of Fiodar Mirzayanau, convicted for participation in the rally against the rigged presidential election held in central Minsk on 19 December 2010, haven't received letters from him for 10 days already, though they are sure that he regularly writes to them.

At present Fiodar is kept in the pre-trial prison in Valadarski Street in Minsk, waiting for the transfer to the penal colony Vouchyia Nory.

Moreover, Judge Natallia Chatsverakova didn't let his mother meet him once again, instead of his father. Fiodar's grandmother wasn't allowed to meet him either. Thus, it is impossible to receive any information about him now.

By the way, earlier there were some problems with correspondence as well: sometimes no letters were received for 3-5 days, and then several letters with different dates were delivered at once.

Fiodar's mother considers it as a means of pressurizing him and the relatives.

On 9 June the prison guards accepted her parcel for the son, with the exception for water filters, though it is well-known that the quality of water in the prison is very low – there is far too much chlorine in it.
