“According to the current Belarusian legislation, Sofya Sapega has the right to file a petition for pardon and exemption from criminal liability as a person who “contributed to the disclosure of crimes and the elimination of the consequences of their commission,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
It is noted that the consideration of such appeals is within the competence of the President of Belarus.
The Russian Foreign Ministry admitted that if Sapieha is transferred to one of the Russian prisons, she may eventually qualify for parole or amnesty.
Earlier, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko announced the possibility of transferring the convicted Russian woman Sofya Sapega to the Russian side.
A court in Belarus sentenced Sapega to six years in prison.
The Russian woman was charged with a number of crimes, including inciting social hatred and discord, organizing violence and threatening to use it against an employee of the internal affairs bodies, interfering in the activities of an employee of the internal affairs bodies.
