Large Fine For Nina Bahinskaya

The activist was fined because of something the police found in her bedside locker.

The Savetski District Court of Minsk assigned civil activist Nina Bahinskaya another large fine in absentia — 2,400 rubles (600 base fees), Belsat learned. The basis for drawing up the protocol was a national flag that the police found in the bedside locker in the pensioner’s room during a search at the end of March.

Last week, Nina Bahinskaya was fined 2,000 rubles by the Partyzansky District Court for “a white badge with a picture of white and red colors.”

Nina Bahinskaya does not go to court trials as a matter of principle and does not pay fines. She previously stated that she considered them illegal, aimed at humiliating the national dignity of Belarusians.
