Maryna Kasinerava: Zmitser Palienka To Be Charged Under Four Articles
Zmitser Palienka

The police considered themselves a "social group."

Political prisoner Zmitser Palienka may face charges under another criminal article. The charges may be supplemented by Article 369 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus (Insulting a representative of the authorities).

This was reported by Zmitser's friend Maryna Kasinerava, as palitviazni.info reports.

Not long ago, Minsk Prosecutor's Office returned the case of Zmitser Palienka to the Zavadski District Department of the Investigative Committee for additional preliminary investigation under Article 264 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

The exact reasons why the prosecutor returned the case to the investigators have not been known.

- The new charge may be related to the video, which Zmitser has allegedly made and distributed, - Maryna Kasinerava says. - At the end of the video there are pictures, which have led to the appearance of new criminal articles in the case. Article 130 of the Criminal Code is about inciting social hatred. As we understand it, for some reason the police consider themselves a social group.

It is also possible that another article 369 of the Criminal Code, which is "hanged" on Zmitser (insult of a representative of the authorities), is related to the criticism of the former Minister of Internal Affairs.

According to Maryna Kasinerava, now Zmitser Palienka is already facing three criminal charges and the fourth may be just the matter of time.

We shall remind you that political prisoner Zmitser Palienka, who was detained on March 20, was charged under several articles of the Criminal Code: particularly malignant hooliganism (Part 3 of Article 339), inciting other social hatred (Article 130), as well as vandalism against buildings and property (Article 341).

Now the activist is in pre-trial detention center-1.
