The trial of a Polish-Belarusian journalist opened in authoritarian Belarus on Monday, with the reporter facing up to 12 years in prison for criticising President Alexander Lukashenko's regime.
Andrzej Poczobut – a correspondent for the top Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza and a representative of the Polish minority in Belarus, who was arrested in March 2021 and accused of “calling for actions aimed at harming national security” as well as inciting hatred, appears at the Grodno regional court on January 16, 2023.
Andrzej Poczobut, a correspondent for top Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza and a representative of the Polish minority in Belarus, was arrested in March 2021. Poland’s charge d’affaires at its embassy in Minsk, Marcin Wojciechowski, was not allowed inside the courtroom for the trial. Also on Monday, Belarusian investigators said that Tikhanovsky, a charismatic YouTube blogger who galvanised the opposition when he ran for president to try to topple Lukashenko, faces new charges of disobeying prison officials.
