Last year Palina Sharenda-Panasyuk
, a political prisoner of European Belarus,
was sentenced to 2 years in prison.
She was to be released in September this year.
However, on April 7, a closed court on the territory of the Homel women's colony sentenced Palina to an additional 1 year in prison.
In February she was charged with gross disobedience to the penitentiary administration.
The verdict was passed by the judge of Chyhunachny district of Homel
Mikalai Krupadzyorau
.
Palina tried to challenge the verdict in the Homel Regional Court, but the decision of the court of first instance remained unchanged, Belsat reports.
