Judge Viktoryia Tkachova of Minsk Tsentralny District Court has sentenced Varvara Krasutskaya, activist of the Belarusian LGBT movement, to a fine of BYR 700,000 on charges of disorderly conduct (Art. 17.1 of the Administrative Code).
The activist was detained last evening in Minsk Kastrychnitskaya Square for wearing a T-shirt “Freedom for Ales Bialiatski”.
