The trial of the political prisoner will take place on September 25th.

The trial of political prisoner Dzmitry Palienka will be closed to the public, it will take place on September 25. This became known on September 20 from Palienka's letter.

Yesterday, another letter was received, in which Dmitri says that he won't say a word in court because he dismisses the accusations and distrusts the Belarusian justice.

"As the trial is going to be completely closed to the public, which means it's non-transparent and closed off from the society - I think it's a direct reprisal, because I don't admit the guilt on any episode, and I don't trust the Belarusian justice," - the letter says.
