Belarusian Activist Who Slit His Own Throat In Court Gets Lengthy Prison Term

Stsyapan Latypau in a defendant's cage during his trial in Minsk earlier this summer. A Belarusian activist who slit his own throat during a court hearing in June has been sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison. Stsyapan Latypau, 40, whom Belarusian rights organizations have recognized as a political prisoner, was found guilty by Minsk Soviet district court of organizing events that violate public order, resisting law enforcement, and committing fraud.

Latypau was sentenced the same day. Latypau rejected all charges. Latypau was detained in mid-September last year as he tried to stop police and workmen from painting over a mural in a residential courtyard that showed off the opposition's red and white colors.
