A criminal case has been opened in Belarus against journalist and former political prisoner Katsiaryna Andreyeva. Her parents have been summoned to the Investigative Committee.
“While I was signing letters, something was also being signed in my beloved homeland. Mum and Dad have been summoned to the Investigative Committee tomorrow: a new criminal case has been opened against me,” Andreyeva wrote on Facebook.
Katsiaryna Andreyeva is a journalist with Belsat. In 2021, she was sentenced to two years in prison for livestreaming from the “Square of Changes”. In 2022, she received an eight-year-and-three-month prison sentence on charges of “high treason”.
Andreyeva was released in March 2026. Along with other political prisoners, she was forcibly removed from Belarus to Lithuania. She later moved to Poland.
