Poczobut bought a watermelon. It turned out they are grown and sold by a family of repressed people. The woman burst into tears

"The woman, with tears in her eyes, carefully chose her best watermelon for me."

Former political prisoner Andrzej Poczobut returned to Belarus on September 8. He plans to spend a week there. Poczobut visited Hrodna, Minsk, where he walked to Valadarka.

On Facebook, the former political prisoner shared a touching story that happened to him during his travels around the country. He bought a watermelon grown in southern Belarus — although it's not as sweet as an Uzbek one, it comes with a whole story.

"It turned out that both the seller and the business owner are husband and wife. Both served time for 2020. Article 342: "active participation in actions that violate public order." They served "house chemistry" (restricted freedom at home) and "chemistry" (restricted freedom with referral to a correctional facility), respectively.

Now they run their own small business and, like most Belarusians, await better times.

The conversation was full of emotion, and the woman, with tears in her eyes, carefully chose her best watermelon for me.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for such people. May the Lord God take care of them!"

    Бачу артыкул пра Пачобута і ўжо ведаю, што тролі зараз пачнуць сваю працу, схему наступныя:

    - Спробы выставіць Пачобута ворагам беларусаў і Беларусі
    - Спробы пераканаць, што Пачобут нічога не робіць для беларусаў
    - Абурэнне, што дзеяч польскай меншасці ў Беларусі піша па-польску
    - Абурэнні, што пра яго пішуць
    - Нешта новае?
  • Не веру, што КДБ гэта пакіне проста так

    Не здзіўлюся, калі потым гэтых людзей знойдуць і да іх прыйдзе кдбшнік, каб апытаць, аб чым яшчэ вяліся размовы.
  • Гульні спецслужбаў

    ., для мяне відавочна, што Церцель гуляе ў сваю гульню: дае Пачобуту спакойна праехацца па ўсёй краіне, у той час, які іншых беларусаў працягваюць затрымліваць.
    Проста на дадзены момант няма каманды на яго затрыманне.
