“IT IS SILLY TO BE AFRAID OF A LITTLE JAIL TIME WHEN THERE IS GULAG UNFOLDING IN THE COUNTRY”
Svetlana Solodkaya and her son Ivan were beaten by the riot cops in August. They filed a complaint about the actions of the officers but recently received a refusal to investigate this case.
“A police officer carries no responsibilities for bodily harm inflicted as a result of the lawful use of physical force if he didn't cross the limits for reasonable self-defense or crime-prevention measures,” the refusal letter reads.
Now, Svetlana says, they will likely get charged with participation in an unsanctioned mass event. She isn't afraid of a fine or arrest, though: “If they put me in jail, I'll do the time. They will let me out sooner or later. Because it is silly to be afraid of a little jail time when there is GULAG unfolding in the country.”

The Federal Council of Switzerland extended sanctions against Belarus. Financial sanctions and travel bans were imposed on 15 individuals, including President Alexander Lukashenko. The new measures come into force at 6pm on 11 December.
The sanctions are in line with the decisions taken by the EU on 6 November 2020. The 15 persons newly added to the list in Annex 1 to the Ordinance on Measures against Belarus are alleged to be responsible for the use of violence and arbitrary arrests following the contested elections in Belarus. Those subject to the sanctions include President Alexander Lukashenko and his son and national security advisor, Viktor Lukashenko. The individuals concerned have been banned from entering or traveling through Switzerland. Their assets are to be frozen and must be reported to SECO without delay.
