Litvina: Repression of journalists breaks all records
BAJ chairperson Zhanna Litvina has commented on Andrzej Poczobut’s trial in a live interview with Euroradio.
Euroradio: What result of the hearing do you expect?
Litvina: “The hearing should be interpreted in the context of everything that has been happening to Belarusian journalists for six months. The repression of journalists has broken all records, I should say. Besides being a professional, Andrzej is a strong-willed person. It is difficult to subdue such people. So he should get ready for a severe sentence. Accordint to the Criminal Code, he may be imprisoned for up to 4 years.
I wish reason won and the court’s approach were adequate in comparison with Andrzej’s charges. All the journalist community expresses solidarity with Andrzej today. I wish it ended in a decent way”.
Let us remind you that Zhanna Litvina and other BAJ members are waiting near Hrodna Lenin District Court today.
