It has already been reported that at the end of September, a Belarusian court sentenced Levchenko to 15 days of administrative detention for “participation in unauthorized mass events”.
Levchenko was detained on the morning of September 30 at Minsk Airport while preparing to go to a previously planned course of treatment and rehabilitation. She was accused of taking part in the protests on 23 and 27 September, using as evidence a photograph published on her Instagram account and a publication on the sports news site Pressbol.
“I would like to inform you of the circumstances in which I would be arrested [varas iestādes] threatened my life. I haven’t slept on a mattress in the last 13 days because it was taken away. I also didn’t really have access to bed linen, so I slept on a metal bed frame, “the basketball player told me about the experience of the past 15 days.
“Also, the sewer didn’t work for two weeks. The last time we were allowed to walk was five days ago. All these unhygienic conditions led me to catch lice.”
The athlete also discovered that due to poor living conditions, an old trauma – a spinal disc herniation – has worsened. She also said that the cellmate was ill, but it was not known if it was a cold or more serious.
Levchanka has played for the Belarusian national team since 2001, including at the Olympic Games. She is a three-time Euroleague bronze medalist and a semi-finalist of the three-time European Championship, including a one-time bronze medalist.

Protests against the falsification of the presidential election have been reported in Belarus for more than two months. Several thousand people have been detained and several hundred injured during the protests.
According to the official results of the presidential election in Belarus on August 9, the current head of state Alexander Lukashenko won 80.1% of the vote, and opposition candidate Svetlana Tikhanovska – 10.1%, but the opposition believes the election results are fake and Tikhanovsky won the election convincingly.
The European Union and other Western countries have also refused to recognize the election results.
