Vyacheslau Skinderau

He is allegedly being held in pretrial detention on fabricated, politically motivated charges. Vyacheslav's imprisonment is being used as a means of pressuring his relatives in exile: two months after Vyacheslav's arrest, GUBOP officers contacted his cousin, who was in exile, and offered "cooperation" in exchange for "solving the problem." During the conversation, the GUBOP officer openly stated that the purpose of this persecution of Vyacheslav was to exert maximum pressure on his brother (Dmitry) and "make things as bad for him as possible."
