Belsat TV journalist Katsyaryna Andreyeva transferred to penal colony in Homiel

On May 19, she was trans­port­ed to the pre-tri­al deten­tion cen­tre in Mahil­iou.

As of today, there is no exact infor­ma­tion about the where­abouts of Darya Chultso­va, anoth­er con­vict­ed jour­nal­ist.

Before the trans­fer to Mahil­iou, Bel­sat TV con­trib­u­tors Kat­syary­na Andreye­va and Darya Chultso­va had been held in the remand prison in Zhodz­i­na over the past two months; the prison author­i­ties list­ed them as ‘per­sons prone to extrem­ism’. In late April, Min­sk City Court reject­ed their appeals, uphold­ing the sen­tences imposed on them; after that, the girls were expect­ed to be tak­en to women’s penal colony in the city of Homiel.
