“Incommunicado. Torture Through Isolation” by journalist and former political prisoner Ihar Karniej examines how isolation is used as torture in contemporary Belarus, drawing on his own experience of imprisonment.

Through personal recollections, testimonies from other political prisoners, and expert commentary, Karniej explores the mechanisms of dehumanisation inside detention centres and penal colonies. His account documents repression and the struggle to preserve human dignity in conditions designed to destroy it.
