The guy, sentenced for post-election protests on the Square, refused to admit his guilt, which made the prison chief to apply extreme measures.

According to Alena Likhavid the mother of the political prisoner who had a short meeting with her son in a penal colony in Navapolatsk, one would hardly recognize MIkita since his arrest.

“I do not know how this thin neck can carry his head. His hands are very cold, he is very pale with sunken cheeks, hollow eyes with dark circles under the them, because he can go out only once a week. He says: “Mum, I breathe through the window.” The prison chief told me he had been deprived of two visits. He just chose this way of struggling,” Alena Likhavid said to Radio Racyja.

For the first time, Mikita Likhavid was punished with 10 days in a punishment cell in the Navapolatsk penal colony. This time, he got 15 days. The activist of the For Freedom movement, sentenced to 3.5-year imprisonment for the Square, had his 21st birthday on May 27. He marked this event in the punishment cell.
