The case concerned alleged incitement to religious and national hatred. It is about the Polish minority in Belarus to commemorate the soldiers of the secret independence, including the Cursed Soldiers. In return, she was sentenced to 15 days in prison for allegedly illegal organizing the annual Kazuki traditional fair.

On Wednesday, there were more arrests – the police arrested the journalist and member of the board of directors of the Polish Union of Belarus, Andrei Bockzopot, as well as activists Maria Teskovsky from Wukowsk and Irina Bernaca from Leda. As Polish Radio found out, Andrzej Poczobut immediately requested a lawyer after his arrest, and the independent Belarusian Association of Journalists helped find him. The lawyer of Maria Tiszkowska and Irena Biernacka was found thanks to the efforts of Grodno editors for the “znadniemna.pl” portal.
