Mikalai Dzyadok can be sent to a closed prison after he leaves a solitary cell.

The wife of political prisoner, Valeria Khotina, shared her fears with Radio Racja. According to her, numerous accusations of “failure to fulfil prison rules and regulations” may become a reason for transferring Mikalai Dzyadok to a prison with stricter conditions.

“Yauhen Vaskovich and Mikalai Statkevich are in Mahilou and Zmitser Dashkevich is an a closed prison in Hrodna. The prison in Zhodzina is empty. He will probable be sent to Zhodzina. This prison is considered to be the worst.”

Mikalai Dzyadok has been in a solitary cell for a long time for alleged violations of prison rules. He cannot see his relatives and make phone calls. Mikalai is expected to be moved from the solitary cell to an ordinary unit on December 13.
