Maria Kolesnikova has been moved to an intensive care unit, former presidential candidate Babariko's Telegram account has announced. She was arrested in 2020 after leading protests against Alexander Lukashenko.

Leading Belarusian opposition figure Maria Kolesnikova has been transferred to the intensive care unit of a hospital in the southeastern city of Gomel, jailed opposition politician Viktor Babariko's Telegram account said on Tuesday.

The account added that Kolesnikova's lawyer confirmed her hospitalization on Monday. She was first admitted into the surgical ward before being transferred to the intensive care unit.

A leading Belarus opposition figure, Kolesnikova has been held behind bars for over two years.

Alexander Kolesnikov said his daughter, Maria Kolesnikova, was in grave but stable condition. The doctors didn’t share her diagnosis or any other details with him about the surgery, Kolesnikov said.

He noted that his daughter looked energetic and cheerful when he last visited her in prison in the southern city of Homiel about a month ago.

Kolesnikova has been in custody since her arrest in September 2020, when she tore up her passport at the border to prevent her forced expulsion from Belarus amid massive protests challenging the reelection of the country's authoritarian president, Alexander Lukashenko.

Too bad the Dutch press aren’t more concerned about what their fascist government is doing to their farmers and food production under the guise of “Saving The Planet”. They WERE one of the world’s greatest food exporters. Those days are GONE.

Ronald Reagan, in his March 8, 1983 speech to the National Association of Evangelicals in Orlando, Florida:

"So, in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil."
