Now she is transferred to Homel women’s colony. It was written in the letter received by her family on 9 November.

According to the law, she is to be kept in a remand prison until an official answer to cassation appeal received from a higher authority. 60-year-old Katsiaryna Sadouskaia was operated two month before the arrest as she suffers from cancer, and she still feels unwell. She hoped that she would be sent for examination to a prison hospital.
