Threats to Iryna Khalip

Journalist of Novaya Gazeta and Andrei Sannikov’s wife found a chicken head in her mail box.

The head was in a plastic bag put inside an envelope without a stamp. So the envelope wasn’t sent with mail but placed directly in the mail box.

“I see it as a direct life threat,” Iryna Khalip told www.charter97.org.

We remind that Iryna Khalip, journalist and wife of former presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov got a suspended two-year prison sentence for having taken part in the demonstration against the falsified results of the Belarusian presidential election on 19 December 2010. The journalist has no right to leave the country and must be at home after 22:00. She is constantly under police surveillance.
