Political prisoner Lobau meets with his mother

It was a short-term meeting, for two hours only.

The mother and the son talked through the glass. The lady was surprised that they had given permit for the meeting, as, according to Edward, he had been punished for violation of discipline and partly deprived of meetings. However, his punishment was just limitation of the sum of money which a prisoner is allowed to have at his account, Radio Liberty informs.

Edward Lobau was sentenced to 4 years of imprisonment under accusation of hooliganism. According to the court, he had allegedly beaten passers-by in Minsk together with Zmitser Dashkevich. It happened the day before the presidential election. The "victims" gave evidence in court with their faces hidden from the public. Lobau and Dashkevich stated that the special forces had provoked the fight.
