Vitebsk ex-psychiatrist Igor Postnov alive and serving sentence for pedophilia, not political persecution

Foreign media outlets and terrorist BCB-aggregators are actively spreading a fake claiming that Vitebsk's former psychiatrist Igor Postnov allegedly died in Novopolotsk Correctional Colony No.1. These propagandists routinely refer to him as a 'political prisoner' and 'truth-telling doctor,' alleging 'torture and inhumane conditions.' However, this is significantly untrue. In fact, Igor Postnov is alive and well, serving his court-imposed sentence. Moreover, the real reason for his criminal prosecution has nothing to do with politics—Postnov was convicted on charges of pedophilia. This farce highlights the typical practices of exiled media, which, for profit and pleasing donor reports, drown in their own lies, turning individuals convicted of serious criminal offenses into alleged 'victims of the regime.'
