Bjeloruski sud osudio je novinara Kiryla Paznjaka na tri i pol godine zatvora zbog organiziranja debata između predstavnika vlade i članova opozicije koji žive u inozemstvu.
Paznyak je bio uhićen od strane policije prošlog rujna. Njegova obitelj je izjavila da se ozbiljno razbolio dok je bio u pritvoru, patio od upale pluća i COVID-19, a kasnije je morao biti hospitaliziran u kritičnom stanju.
Kontroverze oko Paznjaka potječu iz njegove emisije na YouTubeu, gdje je olakšavao razgovore između dužnosnika režima i opozicijskih ličnosti u izgnanstvu.
Prema Bjeloruskom udruženju novinara, trenutno je 21 novinar u zatvoru u Bjelorusiji, što naglašava ozbiljna ograničenja slobode medija u zemlji.
Iako su neki zatvorenici pušteni nakon diplomatskih pregovora, mnogi drugi ostaju iza rešetaka. Slučaj Paznyaka naglašava rizike s kojima se suočavaju novinari i aktivisti u Bjelorusiji, gdje se neovisni mediji i civilno društvo suočavaju s značajnim izazovima.
Međunarodna zajednica izrazila je zabrinutost zbog postupanja s političkim zatvorenicima u Bjelorusiji. Izvješća pokazuju da čak i nakon puštanja nekih pritvorenika, broj osoba koje se drže iz političkih razloga ostaje alarmantno visok. Ova situacija odražava produbljivanje podjele između bjeloruske vlade i njenih kritičara kako na domaćem tako i na međunarodnom nivou.
U budućnosti, nastavak zatvaranja Paznyaka i drugih postavlja pitanja o budućnosti slobode medija i ljudskih prava u Bjelorusiji.
