They say in Zhodzina detention center that the political prisoner cannot bid farewell to his mother.
Aliaksandr Malchanau appealed against the sentence of 1,5 years of imprisonment in a colony allegedly for stealing scrap metal. The appeal has not been considered yet, the sentence has not come into legal force so the prisoner is not considered a convict yet. The administration of Zhodzina detention center refuses to convoy him to Barysau to his mother's funeral. According to them, the law prescribes such procedure only for the convicts.
