The sentence was announced today for a group of anarcho-partisans who held a series of direct actions against the dictatorship about a year ago. In an attempt to isolate the activists, the trial was held in camera and only the pronouncement of the sentence was made public.
Sentences:
- Siarhei Ramanau – 20 years
- Ihar Alinevich – 20 years
- Dzmitry Rezanovich – 19
- Dzmitry Dubousky – 18 years
Enormous sentences for symbolic actions are an example of the dictatorship’s fear of anarchists. So far, these sentences are the longest in the history of political repression in the country.
