Kaleśnikava transferred from internal prison to barracks
February 8, Pozirk. Maryja Kaleśnikava was transferred from the penal colony’s internal prison (PKT) to barracks in late December, jailed regime opponent Viktar Babaryka’s team said on Telegram yesterday.

After his arrest, she joined Śviatłana Cichanoŭskaja’s team and became a member of the united campaign, whose third frontwoman was Vieranika Capkała, the wife of disqualified presidential hopeful Valeryj Capkała.
