Sannikov convoyed to another penal colony

The presidential candidate has been transferred from Navapolatsk penal colony to Babrujsk penal colony #2.

Charter97.org website has been informed about that by the wife of the politician, Iryna Khalip. Today she has received an express telegram about Andrei Sannikov’s transfer to another colony.

According to the wife of the political prisoner, transfer to another colony is an attempt to bring pressure on Andrei Sannikov. In Navapolatsk colony he had authority with inmates, and the administration refused to bulldoze him.

“I assume that the administration of Navapolatsk colony refused to “bulldoze” Andrei concerning the issue of petition for pardon. He had not even been addressed with such a proposal at all. It is possible that Babrujsk colony leadership turned out to be more pliable and cooperative,” Iryna Khalip believes.

“It demonstrates that no one is going to release Andrei Sannikov, and all these promises are nothing but another attempt to delude the whole world. If they had plans to release the presidential candidate, he would not be transferred to another colony,” the wife of the politician said to charter97.org.

“Lukashenka fears his opponents not only at large, but even in prison,” Iryna concludes.
