Only in August we got to know the outcomes of a trial of Dzmitry Dubouski, which had taken place inside a penal institution on 27 June. The judge decided to transfer Dzmitry from a penal colony to a prison (with significantly harsher conditions), allegedly for “repeated disruption of order and breaking of regulations.” Upon the sentencing, Dzmitry was transferred to a prison nr. 4 in Mahilioŭ.
On 5 August Potsdam (Germany) hosted Pirate Wars 2023. The event included the construction of self-made boats and contests on water, e.g. balancing on a board, pushing one another into the water or throwing sacks of sand into portraits of politicians. The event was organized to support ABC-Belarus and to attract attention to the political repression worldwide.
From 23 to 30 August, the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners took place. Several events during the week (in Tbilisi, Warsaw, Turku and Prague) were dedicated to anarchist prisoners in Belarus. Detailed information about the week and the events is available at the week’s website: https://solidarity.international
