Brest Joan of Arc doesn't give up.
Political prisoner Palina Sharenda-Panasiuk was again taken to the punishment cell in the women's colony No. 24 "Zarechche". The activist will celebrate her birthday in the punishment cell. This was reported by her husband, Andrei Sharenda, on his page on Facebook.
Andrei says Pauline has been placed in solitary confinement three times since the end of last December: from December 29, 2022 to January 8, 2023, from January 13 to January 23 and 30 days in a row - from January 28 to February 27. Two weeks after the last punishment, the woman was thrown back into the punishment cell.
"Captivity. This is roughly what a punishment cell in women's colony No. 24 "Zarechche" looks like. Only the window is much smaller; there is a bright artificial light bulb instead of daylight, which is on day and night. The bright lights, like in a surgeon's operating room, cut the mind like a scalpel, and they don't let you forget and fall asleep in the few hours for sleep," Andrei Sharenda says about the conditions in the colony. - Bunk beds are reclined for the day at 6 am. It is impossible to sit on the perch for more than 15 minutes, my back begins to hurt. The walls are so cold that they are covered with frost and it is impossible to lean against them. The torture with light is complemented by hunger and cold, which makes the time last indefinitely.
Palina wrote about her three "stays in the punishment cell" in a letter her husband received last Saturday, March 11.
"Palina wrote briefly about her condition: "I'm hanging in there. Waiting for spring!" ...> It is not known how long the fascists will mock her this time. It is clear, however, that Palina would celebrate her birthday there. This is the third birthday she will celebrate behind bars.
Palina Sharenda-Panasiuk is an activist of European Belarus from Brest. She was detained on January 3, 2021. She has been behind bars ever since. She was sentenced to three years' imprisonment under four articles of the Criminal Code of Belarus.
As Charter97.org reported earlier, the husband of the political prisoner called for the complete isolation of the dictatorial regime.
