43-year-old Evgeny was sentenced for sociological research on COVID-19 in Belarus.

Earlier, the Investigative Committee reported details of the prosecution of Krasnyansky. The agency claimed that the man prepared a study for one of the foreign organizations containing "deliberately false information about the country's health policy in terms of measures taken to combat coronavirus infection." It is known that two women were detained along with Yevgeny Krasnyansky: Minsk residents aged 37 and 43. They allegedly conducted a sociological study on the presence of advantages among citizens in the development of the country through integration with the countries of the European Union. In order to arrive at the desired result, the women allegedly interviewed representatives of the focus group who had "a deliberately negative attitude towards the existing political system and constitutional order in the state." The sentences for the women are unknown.

Sentences

7 years 6 months of imprisonment in colony under enhanced security conditions, 595 basic values fine.

Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives. Parcels are also only possible from relatives. If you want to help, support the family directly if this option is available on the prisoner's page.
