Prosecutor demands three years in penitentiary for "Fair World" member again
Yauhen Basareuski
On 19 July at 12 a.m. the Zhlobin
District Court will deliver a verdict in the case of a member of the
Belarusian Leftist Party "Fair World" Yauhen
Basareuski.
"Yesterday there was held another sitting on
my case", says Mr. Basareuski. "The court listened to
witnesses, the prosecutor and to my last plea. The prosecutor,
Siarhei Anoshka, demanded to punish me with three years in a
penitentiary, taking into consideration the recent amnesty, with the
restriction of the right to occupy leadership positions. This is a
word for word repetition of his demands during the previous
trial.
Bear in mind that on 7 December Judge of the Zhlobin
District Court Ina Sharshniova sentenced Yauhen Basareuski to three
years in a penitentiary, suspended for two years. His former
colleague Valiantsina Kastsiukevich was sentenced to four years of
personal restraint without sending her to an open penitentiary
institution. The both defendants appealed the sentence to the Homel
Regional Court, which overturned the convictions and ordered a new
trial.
The second trial of Basareuski's case started in March
2013 at the Zhlobin District Court. The case was considered by Judge
Alena Yarnolchyk.
