Furthermore, they confiscated from him 22 books, a hair trimmer and a jar of condensed milk.

Political prisoner Mikita Yemialyianau was again placed in a punishment cell for 7 days, according to the Viasna Human Rights Center. The official reasons for this decision are unknown.

Yemialyianau was transferred to the Vaukavysk Penal colony No. 11 on June 13, and after that, he was also placed in a punishment cell for 18 days. Furthermore, they confiscated from him 22 books, a hair trimmer and a jar of condensed milk.

On February 12, 2020, anarchists Mikita Yemialyianau and Ivan Kamar were each sentenced to 7 years in a high security colony prison. They were found guilty of damaging property and unlawful acts against firearms, ammunition and explosives in a group of persons on preliminary conspiracy. We are talking about two actions: they threw a light bulb with paint into the court building, and a Molotov cocktail into a pre-trial detention centre building, which eventually did not catch fire.
