Natallia Aktsiabrskaya is the wife of the political prisoner Aleh Davydzenka. She and her husband were detained on November 2, 2022.
Depending on their roles, they are accused under two criminal articles: Part 1 of Art. 342 ('Active participation in actions that grossly violate public order') and Art. 368 (insulting Lukashenka). Their case will be heard on December 29 in the Savetski District Court of Minsk by the judge Alena Zhukovich.
The reason for the persecution was a photo of the spouses standing with a banner during the 2020 protests.
The court of the Saviecki district of Minsk considered the case against them in one day. On December 29, 2022, Judge Alena Zhukovich sentenced Aleh and Natallia to three years of restricted freedom under home confinement.
