Parfiankou’s appeal will be considered on 28 January

The consideration of the appeal will take place in Minsk city court.

The charter97.org web-site learnt about that from a civic activist Volha Mikalajchyk.

“On 28 January at 10 a.m. Minsk city court will consider the appeal on the case of Vasil Parfiankou. Even if he is not brought in, we have to be there to support Vasil at least somehow”, - the activist said.

We would remind that on 5 December Minsk Piershamajski district’s court sentenced Parfiankou to 1 year in penal colony for “violating the rules of preventive supervision”, which had been imposed on the activist yearly that year. Now the political prisoner is in prison in Zhodzina, and starting from February he will keep serving the term in the colony number 9 in Horki.

In 2011 Vasil Parfiankou was sentenced to 4 year in prison for taking part in the manifestation on 19 December 2010. In several months he was released under an amnesty. Early in 2012 after the detentions at the actions of solidarity with political prisoners preventive supervision was established after the opposition activist.
