                  Ternavsky’s dealing with oil and oil products testifies his close relations with the regime, taking into account a state monopoly on the oil refining sector and the fact that only several individuals are entitled to operate in oil sector.

                  Judge of Pervomayskij district court in Vitsebsk. On 24 February 2012, she sentenced Syarhei Kavalenka, who has been considered as a political prisoner since the beginning of February 2012, to two years and one month in prison for violation of probation. She was directly responsible for violations of the human rights of a person because she denied Syarhei Kavalenka the right to a fair trial. Syarhei Kavalenka was previously given a suspended sentence for hanging out a banned historical white-red-white flag in Vitsebsk. Thesubsequent sentence given by Alena Zhuk was disproportionately harsh given the nature of the crime and not in line with the criminal code of Belarus. Her actions constituted a direct violation of the international commitments of Belarus in the field of human rights.

                  Prosecutor in the trial of Syarhei Kavalenka who was sentenced to two years and one month in prison for violation of probation. Syarhei Kavalenka was previously given a suspended sentence for hanging out a white-red-white flag, a symbol of the opposition moment, on a Christmas tree in Vitsebsk. The subsequent sentence given by the judge in the case was disproportionately harsh given the nature of the crime and not in line with the criminal code of Belarus. Lutau’s actions constituted a direct violation of the international commitments of Belarus in the field of human rights.
