CWN Editor's Note: A Catholic priest will face trial in Belarus next week on charges of state treason. The government has not explained the charge.
Father Henryk Akalatovich, a Polish-born priest who is now a citizen of Belarus, was serving as a pastor in Minsk at the time of his arrest last November. He will have been imprisoned for more than a year when his trial begins on November 25.
