The activist can be free right after the trial is over.

In his speech at the trial over the case of the “Critical Mass” cyclist Dzmitry Paliyenka, Public Prosecutor Aleh Yurkevich has expressed the position of the state prosecution with regard to the punishment of the activist: to subject him to criminal responsibility in the form of imprisonment for two years with delay of sentence and to release him from custody in the court hall.

Human rights defenders of “Viasna” have informed this from the court hall.

We remind, the trial against cyclist Dzmitry Paliyenka has started at 10 a.m. today in Minsk. The trial is conducted by the Central district court of Minsk, judge Valer Yesman.

Paliyenka was brutally detained back on April 29 in Minsk, together with the other participants of the bicycle ride “Critical Mass”. The youngster is charged under two articles of the Criminal Code: violence or threat thereof against an officer of the interior bodies, and making and distributing porn materials.
