Earlier, the Belarusian singer, who lives in Russia, reported in her Instagram that a criminal case was opened against her in her homeland under the articles ” Inciting social Hostility and discord committed by a group of persons or entailing serious consequences” and & quot;A public insult to the president”. The artist was put on the wanted list.
If Agurbash is found guilty, she faces up to 12 years in prison under Belarusian law.
The fact is that last summer Angelika Agurbash supported the Belarusian protests and the candidate for president of Belarus Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. At the same time, the singer participated in solidarity actions with protesters in Belarus in Moscow. She also addressed the Belarusians and called on them to unite.
