Pavel Seviarynets arrived at the Hrodna prison in the summer of 2023, where he was transferred from the Shklou colony. Seviarynets remained behind bars in Hrodna until his release on December 13, 2025.
Mikalai Autukhovich is held in this very prison. And he has become a legend there.
"He is holding up very well. Autukhovich has special conditions in prison; he is in a separate cell, in solitary confinement. As far as I can tell, thank God, he is alive and in good spirits. I don't know exactly what his health condition is. Mikalai Autukhovich is recognized as a legend by other prisoners, even those who cooperate with the administration.
Of those who are now free, we crossed paths with Pavel Vinahradau and Mikalai Dziadok. The guys behaved wonderfully, simply exemplary. I won't talk about others; things might get worse for them. I don't think things can get any worse for Mikalai Autukhovich. He holds up there like a flint," Seviarynets said.
Political prisoner, entrepreneur, and politician Mikalai Autukhovich was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2022 after a lengthy trial. He was immediately charged under 12 articles of the Criminal Code, including "treason against the state" and "attempted seizure of power." Mikalai Autukhovich is held in a solitary cell in Hrodna's covered prison; almost nothing is known about his condition.
According to the verdict, Autukhovich was sent to prison for five years. This term was supposed to end in December 2025, after which the political prisoner was to be transferred to a penal colony.
Today, January 7, Autukhovich celebrates his birthday behind bars: he turned 63.
