The court sitting will
be held at 2.30 p.m. on 30 August in Ivatsevichy colony where the
political prisoner is serving his term. The court is to decide
whether to establish a preventive supervision over him after his
release from jail which is to take place 3 September.
In May
2011 Aliaksandr Frantskevich was sentenced to three years of
imprisonment on the “case of anarchists”. He was accused of
attacking a number of government agencies, as well as hacking the
website of the Navapolatsk City Executive Committee. He pleaded
innocent at the trial.
Human rights defenders consider Mr.
Frantskevich to be a political prisoner and demand their immediate
release.
