Julia Sapega Biography

The head of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, pardoned the Russian woman Sofu Sapaga, sentenced by the Belarusian court under seven articles of the Criminal Code to six years in prison. Today it was transferred by delegations of the Primorsky Territory, headed by the governor of the region Oleg Kozhemyako. The Russian woman with the Belarusian roots Sofya Sapega was born in Vladivostok in the year.

In the middle of X, together with her mother, she moved to the Belarusian city of Pinsk, but remained a citizen of Russia. Sapega graduated from school in Minsk and entered the legal farm of the European Humanitarian University in Vilnius, whose diploma she received in absentia, already under house arrest with her young man Roman Protasevich. Another student Sophia was practiced on the Polish satellite television channel Belsat, broadcasting in Belarusian.

A few months after meeting in Vilnius, Sofya Sapga flew with Protasevich to Greece to the economic forum and for relaxation. On May 23, the return flight on May 23 was planted with the help of a fighter when the territory of Belarus flew on the way to Vilnius. Protasevich on the same day appeared on television and announced a plead of his guilt. Subsequently, he continued to “expose” former associates and praise Lukashenko for “steel eggs”, and Sapega only admitted that she edited the Black Book of Belarus, which published the personal data of the Belarusian security forces.

Later it was reported that her issue was personally discussed by Lukashenko and Putin. Meanwhile, a month later, the detainees of Protasevich and Sapega were transferred together to house arrest, but after several appearance of the novel before the cameras alone, in the fall, it became known that Sofu was sent to serve a preventive measure to the parents of the parents in the Grodno region.

In December, the girl was brought a number of accusations, including “inciting the razor” to the widest circle of people, and in May they sentenced the GO. A few days later, Protasevich, on the testimony of which accusations against Sophia were built, said that he had already managed to marry another. In May, Lukashenko pardoned him, and Protasevich himself continued to speak with “exposures” to former associates.

Even before the court, Sofya Sapga gave official consent to the Russian consul to extradition to Russia. The Belarusian side also spoke of this opportunity, but "only after the sentence." Her parents regularly turned to different instances to help her daughter. With a petition for pardon, Sapega officially turned to June 27. In it, she indicated that her opposition activity was dictated by "youth and stupidity." In April, its cases were transferred to the Presnensky court of Moscow.

Then the Ministry of Justice specified that the girl’s question has been discussed since the end of January "in connection with the appeal of a relative of the convicted person." The propagandists were indignant at the news of the pardon of the girl, especially the details of her meeting by the leadership of the Primorsky Territory caused a violent reaction of Russian propaganda. Why is this?

The chief of IA REGNUM Marina Akhmedova asked a similar question: “He [the governor Kozhemyako] is not enough or there was nothing to do today? Sapga herself thanked Lukashenko: “I would like to thank President Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko for the possibility that he provided me for the gift not only for me, but for my whole family. For the opportunity to return home, to his mother, to his father.

For the fact that I was given a second chance. He was far from many, but I was really very lucky. " Read on the topic afraid to miss the interesting? Subscribe to the Echo newsletter is a weekly digest of key materials from the site to subscribe.
