Political prisoner Alinevich denied letters and newspapers

Valiantsina Alinevich met with his son in the colony.

Alinevich's mother told charter97.org.

On Saturday I had a short meeting with my son, she said. - All as usual. We left Minsk early in the morning, not knowing whether my husband and I would see our son. This time we had a meeting, but he is deprived of the right to get a parcel in four months. Glass and talk through the handset did not contribute to a confidential talk. But it's a great pleasure to see and hear a loved one even if you cannot give him a hug. Many questions arise about what happens in the world. It feels like hunger for information. He is denied in Novy chas and Svobodnye novosti, though the editorial office sends every edition. Ihar, for unknown reasons, does not receive most of letters. Especially, it refers to his Russian friends. Those letters about Russia-Ukraine events are not received either. And what I do completely misunderstand is that they have denied the commentary to the Crinimal Code, although Navapolatsk colony allowed the entire legislative literature".

According to the political prisoner's mother, now Ihar Alinevich is transferred to a new 7th squad.

He has not much time after work, but he tries to read more, learn the economics, she says. - He was really impressed by the fate of a Russian economist Nikolai Kondratiev, the author of long waves theory, died in 1937. He is trying to extrapolate this theory to our reality. He says that according to his calculations, we are only at the beginning of the economic crisis, but not at its bottom. Unfortunately, economics textbook in English was also not given to him. Onto my questions about health he answered everything was ok, though dark circles under his eyes remarked to the contrary. He worries about political and other prisoners. He was upset by a new trial against Mikalai Dziadok. He does not share the poind of Platform about positive trends in the prison system. He does not see any grounds for it. In this respect, he fully shares the view of Ales Bialiatski.

When we arrived we saw someone's mother facing the colony. She had been waiting for her son since the very morning. He had to be released that day. I hope they finally met".

Ihar Alinevich, the activist of an anarchist movement, has been sentenced to 8 years of imprisonment allegedly for violence towards official buildings". He did not found himself guilty. Earlier, he served his sentence in colony in Navapolatsk, which is "famous" for its poor conditions. In the beginning of the year it was decided to disband it. In mid-July it was reported that Ihar Alinevich convoyed to the Vitsba colony. After a short period of time the political prisoner was started to put a strong pressure on and spent a month incarcerated.

Ihar Alinevich is recognized as a political prisoner by international and Belarusian human rights community.
