The wife of Nobel Peace Prize laureate and activist Ales Bialiatski says he has been transferred to solitary confinement at his prison in Belarus
Nobel Peace Prize laureate and activist Ales Bialiatski has been transferred to solitary confinement at his prison in Belarus, his wife said Tuesday. Natalia Pinchuk told The Associated Press that prison authorities have toughened conditions for the 61-year-old Bialiatski, who is serving a 10-year sentence, despite his chronic illnesses. “Effectively, it's a prison inside prison,” she said.
“The authorities in Belarus are continuing brutal repressions, showing that they may subject anyone to torturous conditions regardless of the Nobel prize.” The arrests of Bialiatski and his colleagues came in response to massive protests over a 2020 election that extended authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko's rule and were seen by the opposition and many in the West as a sham. The protests were the largest ever in Belarus.
