Prosecutors in the western Belarusian region of Brest said on July 22 that a local woman had been sentenced to six years in prison for sending 4,400 rubles ($1,344) to a regiment of Belarusian soldiers fighting on the side of Ukraine. The Vyasna human right center identified the woman as Natallya Levaya, a 38-year-old resident of Brest. The Brest regional court on July 17 convicted Levaya of financing extremist activities for sending the funds to the Kastus Kalinouski Regiment and attempting to join an armed group in a foreign country. Levaya was also ordered to pay a $40,000 ruble ($12,218) fine. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
