In her opinion, in Belarus, her son "in fact, signed a death warrant."
“We will now sound all the bells - we will appeal to everyone we can, both the Foreign Ministry and the President, so that they can help,” she said.
The mother of the Russian expressed the hope that Russia and Belarus "will be able to come to an agreement among themselves" in order to "release" Dudnikov.
“Because it may turn out that Belarus will refuse,” the woman said.
She also said that Dudnikov asked to give him fish and chicken sausage for the New Year, as well as books, including a self-study guide in German, Stanislavsky's book on acting, a book about Japanese traditions and Game of Thrones.
Earlier, the Minsk court sentenced Russian citizen Yegor Dudnikov to 11 years in prison for inciting social hatred and calling for action against the national security of Belarus.
The Russian was detained in May in Minsk, where he moved to live from Russia in the fall of 2019.
