Congratulations to Ales Bialiatski at Nezalezhnists Square in Kyiv
The collection of signatures in support of the
Belarusian human rights defender Ales Bialiatski who turned 50 years on 25
September continued in the center of Kyiv.
Representatives of civil organizations proposed passers-by to sign postcards
which would be sent to the prison where Bialiatski was kept.
“International human rights organizations recognized Bialiatski as a prisoner
of conscience and have been demanding his release from the Belarusian authories
for a long time, being convinced that his prosecution has solely political
motivation,” stated to RFE/RL one of the action participants, Bohdan Ovcharuk,
a representative of “Amnesty International”.
It's worth noting that similar actions were also held in other cities of the Ukraine, as well as in Paris,
Berlin, Moscow
and Warsaw.
