A recent revelation from a political prisoner in Belarus has brought to light the harsh realities of the country's prison system. Katsiaryna Novikava, aged 38, managed to share her harrowing experiences by writing on pieces of toilet paper and smuggling them out.
Novikava detailed the brutal treatment she endured after being detained in June 2023, where she was subjected to repeated beatings by security forces. Her account, published in independent Belarusian media, described how she was assaulted during interrogations in various detention centers.
