Among other participants of the “silent protest” action of July 20, Alena Likhavid, mother of political prisoner – activist of the Movement For Freedom (MFF) Mikita Likhavid, was sentenced to 10 days of arrest.

Human rights activist Nasta Loyka informed Solidarity about the fact that no one was admitted to the trial against Alena Likhavid except the lawyer:

“The trial lasted fairly long. Alena Likhavid, as other people whose cases are considered by the Central District Court, was accused under Article 23.34 of the Administrative Code (Violation of the procedure of organizing or holding of a mass event or a picket). The “witnesses” stated that the defendants were impeding the passage of citizens along the street. Alena Likhavid was sentenced to 10 days’ arrest”.
