A court in Belarus has sentenced Nobel Prize winner Alice Bialitsky to 10 years in prison, the convict says.
Foreign news agencies Al Jazeera report He was convicted of tax evasion and protest financing.
In this regard, exiled Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana said that Alice Bialitsky and other activists convicted in the same case have been unjustly punished and that this decision is terrible.
“We must do everything we can to fight this shameful injustice and set them free,” he said on Twitter. The Belarusian state news agency Belta confirmed the verdict to Alice Bialitsky.
Prosecutors had asked the court to sentence Alice Bialitsky to 12 years, but Alice Bialitsky had denied all charges against her.
