The Minsk Pershamaiski District Court has dismissed the criminal case against 78-year-old activist Nina Baginskaya and exempted her from any penalties. This information comes from "Belsat," citing reliable sources.

Authorities had opened the criminal case against Baginskaya in early May, accusing her of "repeatedly violating regulations on organizing or conducting mass gatherings" under Article 342-2 of Belarus's Criminal Code.

As reported by the Viasna Human Rights Center, the charges stemmed from Baginskaya's public walks through Minsk while wearing clothing adorned with white-red-white emblems and carrying national symbols. All alleged offenses occurred during 2024.
