Uladzimir Yaromenak
Judge
of the Pershamaiski District Court of Minsk Siarhei Bandarenka
sentenced the activist of the “Young Front” Uladzimir Yaromenak
to 1 million rubles of fine. On 28 August the court considered an
administrative case against the activist under Article 24.12, part 2
of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
Bear in mind that a
week ago, on 20 August, the Pershamaiski District Court of Minsk
sentenced Mr. Yaromenak to three months for alleged violation of the
rules of preventive supervision (Article 421 of the Criminal Code).
The verdict hasn't entered into fore yet and will be appealed by the
activist.
Bear in mind that the Human Rights Center “Viasna”
issued a special statement on the fact of the criminal persecution of
Uladzimir Yaromenak, demanding to put an end to the practice of
politically motivated persecution of political activists, human
rights defenders, journalists and political opponents of the current
regime, immediately and unconditionally release all political
prisoners and to remove all restriction of their rights imposed as a
result of their conviction.
