Catechism teacher at the Minsk Archcathedral. In 2020, Beloded participated in general prayers for an end to violence and lawlessness. He was detained on May 31, 2023 and subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment. Relatives at the trial drew attention to signs of beatings.
The believer was forced to write down the so-called. a “repentance” video in which he appeared depressed and, under obvious duress, declared his homosexual orientation, which puts him at additional risk. In the propaganda video, they spoke about him in a humiliating tone, forced him to incriminate himself, and also showed photos and videos aimed at discrediting him in the eyes of believers. The Curia of the Minsk-Mogilev Archdiocese published a message indicating that a canonical investigation has been launched into the facts presented in the propaganda video.
Vladislav was arrested several times for a total of 45 days under the article on the distribution of “extremist materials” (Article 19.11 of the Administrative Code), after which a criminal case was opened under Article 130 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
On June 11, 2024, the appeal was considered and the verdict entered 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
