On 3 March Pastor Georgi Vyazovsky of Minsk was sentenced to ten days' imprisonment for conducting worship in his home. He is pastor of Christ's Covenant Reformed Baptist Church, one of two Reformed Baptist churches refused registration.

Pastor Vyazovsky is believed to be the first pastor in Belarus to be imprisoned for religious activity since the Soviets released religious prisoners under glasnost (openness) in the mid-1980s. Vladimir Bukanov, a fellow Reformed Baptist pastor who attended the trial said, 'The accusations against him were that people were reading the Bible, praying and singing hymns in his house.'
