Jak wyglada życie w białoruskim więzieniu?

What is Alexander Lukashenko's prison system really like? For over five years, Andrzej Poczobut was a prisoner of the Belarusian regime. He spent time in pretrial detention centers, solitary confinement, and penal colony No. 1 in Novopolotsk. In this interview, he talks about a world most Belarusians will never see. What is "perekovka"? How does the system of informants called "kozły" work? Why do prisoners fear solitary confinement more than their next sentence? And why do Belarusian labor camps serve not to rehabilitate but to instill fear? The program's guests are Andrzej Poczobut, a journalist, activist with the Union of Poles in Belarus, and a former political prisoner of Alexander Lukashenko's regime, and Kamil Kłysiński, an expert at OSW. ------------------ Sources of excerpts: Belta.by https://m.ok.ru/video/1280048368308 Беларусь 1 CTVBY    • ИК-10 Новополоцк   ------------------- OSW Instagram:   / osw_pl   (direct link sometimes doesn't work, you can find us on Instagram by searching for osw_pl) OSW Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rlctzU...
