Out of all “Decembrists”, who have not been imprisoned after trials, Iryna Khalip has the harshest regime of serving the sentence.
On Monday, August 8, the wife of the presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov, a journalist of “Novaya Gazeta” (Russia) Iryna Khalip, who had been sentenced to suspended 2 years’ imprisonment for the events of December 19, 2010, has visited the criminal execution inspection.
“I have registered myself at the police body for the first time today. I am to come and get registered there every Monday for the next two years. I have read my verdict attentively before going there, and I was amazed by some illogical things there. I asked officers of the penal execution inspection how the limitations written in my court judgment are possible. For instance, I cannot leave Minsk for more than a month. It means that I can leave Minsk for a term less than a month. But it is written in the court decision after a comma that I must be at home every day after 10 p.m. I asked policemen how these two things could be combined. They said: it is not possible, and your verdict is a legal nonsense. And they not know ourselves which sentence to execute, policemen were reasoning, as it seems that I can visit relatives in the countryside or go to a summer cottage with my child, but I must return before 10 p.m. and the words “not to go outside the city for a term more than a month,” as they explained to me, had been thoughtlessly copies from the Penal Code. All in all, even policemen were laughing at Judge Brysina’s lack of professionalism,” the journalist said to charter97.org.
By the way, when Iryna Khalip was registered, she was fingerprinted once again.
“And I asked absolutely sincerely, isn’t it enough, as starting from December 19 I had been fingerprinted 5 times, and inspectors told me that they had started a promotion: “Be fingerprinted 5 for 5 times, and the 6th time is for free.”
From my contacts with officers of the penal executive inspection I have understood that I would not be able to go outside the city, I would not be able even to go to the summer cottage, I would not be able to meet with my employer in Moscow. Besides, policemen are going to visit me at home a few times a day, to check whether I am at home, which is unlikely to contribute to psychological comfort of my son. Thus, in fact I am still remaining under a home arrest,” the journalist noted.
