February 8, <\/strong>Pozirk.<\/strong> <\/em>Maryja Kale\u015bnikava 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ta\u0107ciana Chomi\u010d, Kale\u015bnikava’s sister and co-founder of the Association of Relatives and Former Political Prisoners, tweeted that she hopes that the Kale\u015bnikava will be released soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One month before the transfer, she was allowed to see her father after being held incommunicado for more than a year and a half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October, Belarusian leader Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka said he would consider a petition for pardon from Maryja Kale\u015bnikava, if she submitted it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September 2021, a Minsk court sentenced Kale\u015bnikava to 11 years in prison. She is serving her sentence in Homiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of the 2020 presidential election, Kale\u015bnikava was Babaryka’s campaign manager and spokeswoman. After his arrest, she joined \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja’s team and became a member of the united campaign, whose third frontwoman was Vieranika Capka\u0142a, the wife of disqualified presidential hopeful Valeryj Capka\u0142a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2022, Kale\u015bnikava underwent emergency surgery at a Homiel hospital, where she was taken in serious condition. The prisoner was diagnosed with peritonitis, a complication of a perforated ulcer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
