  • Zmitser Lupach in intensive care unit with hypertensive crisis after trial

    10 days in jail and a fine of 45 basic values was the sentence given to journalist Zmitser Lupach by Hlabokaye distric court judge Dzmitry Tarasevich. He was tried on May 11 under to charges of the Administrative Code -- Art. 22.9 Part 2 (illegal production and distribution of media products) and Art. 23.34 Part 1 (Violation of the order of organization or holding mass events).

    Zmit­ser’s lawyer man­aged to join the hear­ing only after the break. He found a lot of flaws in police reports and asked the judge to send them back for revi­sion. How­ev­er, but the judge decid­ed to announce the rul­ing.

    A police car was wait­ing for the jour­nal­ist out­side the court build­ing.  They had got the court rul­ing even before it was giv­en to Zmitser.

    The jour­nal­ist col­lapsed at the cour­t­house, and his wife called an ambu­lance, as his blood pres­sure was very high. The para­medics con­firmed that Zmitser had a hyper­ten­sive cri­sis. The jour­nal­ist was tak­en to the local hos­pi­tal. The ambu­lance was fol­lowed by a police car.

    Accord­ing to Zmit­ser’s wife, upon arrival at the hos­pi­tal he was placed in an inten­sive care unit.
