On 13 July2009, members of the Human Rights House Network called on the Belarusian authorities to immediately release youth activist Artsiom Dubski from the pre-trial detention, to refuse from the practice of politically motivated reprisals towards the country’s citizens and to completely abolish the penalties to all participants of the ‘Process of 14’ who are serving them now.
On 7 July 2009, Artsiom Dubski was sentenced to one year in general security prison allegedly for the evasion from serving personal restraint. Yet, his imprisonment is widely believed by Belarusian HR defenders to be politically motivated.
