  • Ex-TUT.BY journalist Aliaksandr Dzemidovich sentenced to 2.5 years of freedom restriction

    The Tsentralny District Court in Minsk sentenced Aliaksandr Dzemidovich, the commercial director of Silver Screen Cinema, to 2.5 years of freedom restriction on charges of gross disorderly conduct (Part 1 Article 342 of the Criminal Code), he told to Mediazona.

    The sen­tence was hand­ed down on 22 August. After the ver­dict, Dzemi­dovich was released.

    Ali­ak­san­dr Dzemi­dovich was detained on 25 May 2022 at his work­place in Min­sk. Accord­ing to eye­wit­ness­es, three plain-clothed law enforcers came to his office and brought him for a search at his home. Lat­er the com­mer­cial direc­tor was sen­tenced to 15 days of arrest for defy­ing police orders (Arti­cle 24.3 of the Admin­is­tra­tive Offens­es Code).

    On 19 June 2022, the pro-gov­ern­ment Telegram chan­nel Tsen­tr E report­ed that a crim­i­nal case was opened against Dzemi­dovich for gross dis­or­der­ly con­duct. A video of Dzemi­dovich was pub­lished, in which he admits his par­tic­i­pa­tion in protests in 2020.

    Ali­ak­san­dr Dzemi­dovich pre­vi­ous­ly worked in var­i­ous posi­tions at TUT.BY media out­let. He was the head of a com­mer­cial ser­vice depart­ment before the shut­down of the pub­li­ca­tion in May 2021.
