Despite political repression and war, Belarusian administration continues mass prosecution for non-violent crimes related to controlled substances under Article 328 of the Criminal Code.

Violations of rights usually occur at every stage of the criminal process. It is the inability to get a lawyer, a violation of the right to a fair trial and torture at all stages of the process and while serving a sentence in a penitentiary institution.
