Amid the unprecedented wave of protests that took place in Belarus in 2020, there was a popular belief that the state would be more merciful to women protestors, many of whom dressed in white and carried flowers. The data says the opposite: women of all ages were imprisoned in the brutal crackdown that followed. Their combined sentences amount to 461 years, with the most common term between two and three years in a penal colony. Eighteen per cent were aged above 50, while two were underage and at least 15 detainees have children.
