Yesterday's events that happened in the editorial office of tut.by changed our plans. There aren't many of us near the colony in Homel, where Katsia was transported in the last days of her imprisonment, but we are waiting for her - with greetings from all the staff," - the journalists of tut.by reported.

At about 7:24 a.m., Katsiaryna Barysevich out of the gates of the colony with two large bags.

First she called her 18-year-old daughter Dasha, who is now waiting for her mother, along with other relatives, in Minsk. Katsiaryna said it took her a long time to get all the letters, and she received about 500 of them in six months.

"Now Katsiaryna Barysevich is with her colleagues, she's in a great mood," - the journalists report.
