They saw Sapega yesterday. According to the parents, Sofia has been under house arrest for 2-3 days already.
“Of course, we are glad that she is not in prison, they are completely different living conditions. We did not particularly believe in it. Sofia is still in a positive mood,” said Sapega’s stepfather. He hopes that all the accusations against the girl will be removed. Roman Protasevich has been moved to house arrest, his father Dmitry Protasevich told the BBC.
“I find it difficult to comment on the actions of the authorities, I cannot say what their goals are. “Maybe it is a political game,” he added.
