A judge of Vitsebsk Region Court Halina Urbanovich has fined a human rights activist Leaned Svetsik for 31 million 500 thousand roubles (more than 11 thousand dollars). He will also have to compensate for the moral damage done to the head of Vitsebsk affiliate of the State Union of Writers Tamara Krasnova-Husachenka  - 1 million roubles.
