On October 8 and 9, 2018, Mr. Anatoly Zmitrovich and Ms. Alena Masliukova were respectively convicted by the Svetlogorsk District Court for the organisation of the “Svetlogorsk - For Clean Air” flash-mob that took place on September 15, 2018, to protest against the damages caused by a bleached-pulp factory. Both of them were sentenced to a fine of 612,5 BYR (around 250 Euros), equivalent to two-thirds of the average monthly salary in Belarus. They plan to appeal that decision.
