After examination and medical assistance, the political prisoner felt better, his hearing partially returned.

Hundar was sanctioned at the beginning of April for incorrectly placing a pillow on a prison bed. However, he was not sent to the punishment cell for a month because of the lack of free space there.

Political prisoner Uladzimir Hundar, a defendant in the “Autukhovich case”, was sentenced to 20 years in a reinforced-security penal colony under 4 articles of the Criminal Code. Consideration of the appeal against the last verdict will take place on June 6.
