«Just f***ing fed up with all of this». Yushkevich spoke about the motivation of the ex-KGB lieutenant colonel who leaked phone conversations about the death of Raman Bandarenka
Former political prisoner Yauhen Yushkevich reacted on Threads to the news that former KGB Lieutenant Colonel Aliaksei Hralovich, who is currently serving a 10-year sentence, was given an additional year of imprisonment, and spoke about his meetings with him behind bars.
«Aliaksei Hralovich is the very person who pulled those wiretap recordings of conversations about Bandarenka's murder. We spent several days with him in the BS-cell of Valadarka, before he was transferred to a penal colony.
On the last day, I asked him about something that had also troubled me:
— Listen, you've been in service your whole life, you even studied at the academy [in the Russian Federation], you knew they WOULD find you anyway. You knew you would lose even before the game started. Why did you do it?
— Honestly — I'm just f***ing fed up with all of this, living like this. Just f***ing fed up.
An artifact from him is now with me in Warsaw.»
Aliaksei Hralovich was arrested on March 15, 2021. On March 30, 2022, the Minsk City Court sentenced him to 10 years in a high-security penal colony and a fine of 500 basic units under Part 2, Article 356 of the Criminal Code (treason). He was also stripped of his military rank of 'lieutenant colonel'.
Hralovich was involved in transferring audio recordings of conversations between Lukashenka's press secretary Natalia Eismant and various officials to the creator of the Telegram channel Nexta, Stsiapan Putsila, in November 2020. It was in these recordings that the circumstances of the death of Raman Bandarenka, which occurred exactly six years ago, were discussed.
In October 2023, a court hearing took place in Navapolatsk to change Aliaksei's detention regime. By the decision of Judge Tatsiana Khrypach, the political prisoner was transferred to a prison regime in Mahiliou, where a criminal case was later initiated against him under Article 411 of the Criminal Code.
