THE SURPRISE GUEST

Our surprise guest is Andrey Gnyot, Belarusian filmmaker and journalist who has just been released from house arrest in Serbia, where he spent one year in extradition detention on allegations of economic crimes made by his country. Through his personal story, he describes the fate of independent journalists in present-day Belarus, where even the slightest criticism of those in power can lead to them being labelled 'enemy of the people' and imprisoned on bogus economic charges.
