**RT @Tsihanouskaya:**
I send my heartfelt condolences to the family & friends of 37-year-old poet Dmitry Sorokin, who died while in detention in Lida on June 1st. The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, but we know that security forces are trying to obscure the truth. Calling for justice & full transparency on the tragic events that led to his death.
