April 12, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Journalist Ihar Karniej has filed an appeal against his three-year prison sentence, Radyjo Svaboda<\/em> reports, citing his family member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities are to transfer him from Minsk to a detention center in Mahilo\u016d, where he will be held during the appeal hearing, she said. The journalist was allowed to see his lawyer on Thursday and receive a small parcel from his family, she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 22, judge Siarhiej Kacar of the Minsk City Court found Karniej guilty on charges of setting up an extremist group and participating in its activities. Three days later, human rights groups declared him a political prisoner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karniej, a former RFE\/RL Belarus Service correspondent, has been in custody since July 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
