Political prisoners forced to sign blank sheets of paper

Vitaliya Bandarenka, a 19-year-old political prisoner held in the pre-trial detention center No. 7 in Brest, was forced to sign five blank sheets of paper, her mother Natallia said.

“Then they will say that she asked for a pardon, which she did not do. Or they will write that she confesses to something,” said Natallia Bandarenka.

Vitaliya Bandarenka was convicted in the case of participation in mass protests and sentenced to four years of imprisonment.
