Political prisoner Parfyankou to be released on Saturday
He will be released at 11 a.m., Baranavichy human right defender Syarhei Housha told Euroradio.
Syarhei Housha: "I have phoned Baranavichy prison today. They said that he will be released from 11 a.m. to 1.p.m. - we will be waiting."
Parfyankou may not be allowed to leave prison right after the release. The prison administration may secretly drive him away by car, Housha said. It will be difficult to notice it. Nevertheless, human rights defenders will be waiting for Vasil Parfyankou near prison.
Parfyankou was imprisoned for 4 years for the Dec.19, 2010 action. He served his sentence in Orsha. Lukashenka pardoned and released him on August 11, 2011.
But Parfyankou was imprisoned again for violating the preventive supervision regime on May 29, 2012. His political activities were the reason for it. Minsk City Court did not satisfy Parfyankou's appeal about his 6-month arrest. Vasil Parfyankou was jailed again on August 9. He is serving his sentence in Baranavichy colony.
