Ales Byalyatski transported to Babruisk colony
The human rights defender's wife Natallia Pinchuk has been informed about this in the Valadarski street detention center.
Natallia Pinchuk: "Initially, I came there to find out whether Ales was in the Valadarski street prison. A woman there looked through the files which she had with her, called someone and then replied that he had already been sent to the correctional colony No. 2 in Babruisk today".
According to Natallia, Ales will have a quarantine period when he arrives to Babruisk. It is unknown how long it will take. The woman doesn't know whether she will be allowed to visit her husband or to pass him a parcel: the colony's administration gives no such information by phone. The same was in the Valadarski street prison, and in Zhodzina.
Representatives of the Babruisk colony promised Natallia that they would inform everything she wanted to know in a letter. However, this letter may go from Babruisk to Minsk from one day till one week. Natallia should either wait for this letter or hope for the possible answer by phone, as it is not reasonable to go to Babruisk only to find out that the quarantine period still continues.
