Former political prisoner, journalist, and blogger Ihar Losik recalled how he, Maksim Znak, Mikalai Statkevich, Maria Kalesnikava, and other prominent prisoners were placed in an "incommunicado" regime. Losik recounted that until early 2022, letters to pretrial detention centers and penal colonies were delivered without hindrance, although "not all arrived." Then, the authorities cut off all mail from people.
