Virus Outbreak Belarus Prisons

FILE - In this Monday, Aug. 10, 2020 file photo, police officers kick a demonstrator during a mass protest following presidential election in Minsk, Belarus. A wave of COVID-19 has spread through Belarusian jails packed with people imprisoned for taking part in four months of protests against the nation’s authoritarian president. Activists, who tested positive after being released, describe massively overcrowded cells and the lack of basic amenities, and some even allege that the authorities have deliberately spread contagion among political prisoners.
