MINSK (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th September, 2021) Lawyers of Belarusian opposition activists Maria Kolesnikova and Maksim Znak have appealed the verdict against them in the national supreme court, their allies said on Thursday.
Earlier this month, Kolesnikova and Znak, members of the Belarusian opposition coordination council's presidium, were sentenced to 11 and 10 years of imprisonment, respectively, as the court found them guilty of threatening national security.
