On his Facebook page, Paretsky published posts about the history of Belarus and his attitude towards Russia. “Poland is Belarus’s brother, Ukraine is its sister!” he wrote in November 2021.
Before the trial, the accused was under a written undertaking not to leave the city and was taken into custody in the courtroom. The Mogilev resident has a third-degree disability, and in April he spent 17 days in a psychological and psychiatric examination in Novinki, where he was found sane.
On June 16, 2022, the KGB added Alexey Paretsky to the list of “persons involved in terrorist activities.”
On September 27, 2022, the appeal was heard and the verdict came into force.
How to write a letter
✏️ A postcard with words of encouragement (a poem by your favorite author, song lyrics, or a beautiful quote). Trust us, even such simple gestures are very meaningful to a person in jail.
✏️ Your life events. To a person who is in isolation for a long time, any story about your routine endeavors will be a window into normal life. Your day-to-day worries and mundane matters are much more interesting than the daily grind of life behind bars.
✏️ It is important to share news. Mention the most notable and interesting occurrences depending on your pen-pal's interests.
✍️️ Remember that every letter is censored. This means that your letters are read by strangers whose main goal is to limit inmates' access to information or to use it against the prisoners or even you.
So try to avoid:
👉️️ harsh statements regarding ongoing political matters
👉 statements against the authorities and public servants
👉 foul language
👉 discussion of the circumstances of the criminal case
