No letters from political prisoner Lobau for a month

Relatives of Eduard Lobau say he might have been thrown into a punishment cell.

It already happened this year, but the political prisoner didn't informed their relatives, Radio Svaboda reports.

“I learnt it from Aliaksandr Frantskevich, who was released from prison,” recalls Maryna Lobava, the mother of the political prisoner. Frantskevich was in the same prison with Eduard Lobau.

“I don't know why there's no information from him. Frantskevich said Eduard had been in the punishment cell, but Eduard didn't tell me it. Perhaps he doesn't want me to worry. I later asked why he hadn't told. He replied it wasn't important.”

Maryna Lobava doesn't know when exactly her son was thrown in the punishment cell.

The Young Front activist and YF leader Zmitser Dashkevch were detained almost three years ago ahead of the 2010 presidential election. On March 24, 2011, Minsk's Maskouski district court sentenced Eduard for 4 years in a maximum security correctional colony for hooliganism (part 3 of article 339 of the Criminal Code). He serves his term in correctional colony No. 22 in Ivatsevichy.

Lawyer Alena Ausiannikava said at the trial Lobau's guilt was supposed to be proved by indisputable evidence and couldn't be built on suggestions. The lawyer noted no evidence confirming the guilt of the defendants was presented to the court.
