Dmitry Bunevich

Dmitry Bunevich, 32, hailing from Brest, became a notable figure after being convicted under Article 342 of the Belarusian Criminal Code for his participation in the protests of 2020. He was sentenced to 1 year and 8 months in prison and was implicated in the infamous 'khorovod' case, which resulted in the incarceration of many individuals from Brest. Bunevich's time in prison was marred by allegations of health deterioration, including the removal of his spleen due to reported beatings by prison staff. Recently, he has been in the news for initiating a fundraising campaign for his medical needs, which has sparked outrage among other political prisoners who accuse him of being an informant and a fraud, claiming he has a history of cooperation with prison authorities.
