BSU Journalism Department lecturer Hanna Kureichyk arrested for 15 days

The teacher was tried under Arti­cle 24.3 of the Admin­is­tra­tive Offens­es Code “Dis­obe­di­ence to law­ful demands of an offi­cial”.

Han­na Kure­ichyk was detained on 18 Feb­ru­ary. The law enforcers came to her house as she was on sick leave.

The rea­sons behind the vis­it are unknown. “I think it was done to make it eas­i­er to fire her. After all, her employ­ment con­tract ends in 2023,” said Kureichyk’s col­league.

In Sep­tem­ber 2020, Han­na Kure­ichyk spoke up on social media about the events tak­ing place in Belarus. She called the sit­u­a­tion a “delib­er­ate destruc­tion of jour­nal­ism as a pro­fes­sion.”

In Decem­ber 2021, Kseniya Mar­tul, lec­tur­er at the Jour­nal­ism Depart­ment of Belaru­sian State Uni­ver­si­ty, was detained dur­ing a lec­ture. In a “repen­tant” video, Mar­tul said she had par­tic­i­pat­ed in the 2020 mass protests. “I am arrest­ed for for­ward­ing pub­li­ca­tions of ‘extrem­ist’ Telegram chan­nels to my per­son­al chats,” she added. Kseniya Mar­tul was then sen­tenced to 15 days of arrest.
