A participant of the protests of 2020, a 25-year-old resident of the capital, who works as a manager in a private company, was tried at the ‘Slodych’ confectionery factory in Minsk. A mobile hearing of the Savetski district court was held there. It was attended by the employees of the company, writes ERORADIO.
