Political Prisoner, BelTA's Deputy Director for Ideology, Released

Siarhei Adziarykha passed insider information to Anatol Kotau, who published it on the then-popular channel «Nik and Mike». After his release, he became a taxi driver.

It became known about the release of former BelTA top manager Siarhei Adziarykha. BelTA's Deputy Director General for Ideology was arrested in October 2021 and sentenced to five years in a penal colony for «abuse of power» (Article 426 of the Criminal Code).

Siarhei Adziarykha was accused of passing information to Anatol Kotau in the National Anti-Crisis Management — for example, about the travel schedule of Lukashenka or other officials. That information was published on the insider channel «Nik and Mike», a total of 58 posts.

He was not paid anything for the information.

Adziarykha was recognized as a political prisoner. His sentence was expected to end around July 2026, but it became known that the former media manager is already free. Since the article under which Adziarykha was convicted was «corruption-related» and not «extremist», amnesty could theoretically have been applied to him.

In October 2025, Siarhei Adziarykha opened a sole proprietorship as a taxi driver.

    Які быў сэнс публікацыі злітых матэрыялаў? Хто з іх скарыстаў? Навошта аж 58, а не 2? Тады ўжо пішыце колькі лайкаў сабралі. А то чалавек адседзеў за нейкага Котава.

    Нібыта не дурны чалавек,
    але што ж такого сакрэтнага можа быць ў Белта? што чалавека можна пасадзіць на 5 год?
