    It took for Judge Ihar Liubav­it­s­ki 20 min­utes to issue the deci­sion. He watched the video where the jour­nal­ist says he was a jour­nal­ist and noth­ing else. The jour­nal­ist had not been tak­en to court for appeal, his inter­ests were rep­re­sent­ed by a lawyer.

    Ali­ak­san­dr Barazen­ka is on hunger strike at Akrestsi­na: he only drinks water, juice and prison tea. His sen­tence ends on Sun­day, at 3 pm.
