Boris Grebenshchikov supports Ales Bialiatski
“Amnesty International” has launched the Write for Rights 2012
marathon.
This year's marathon offers to put signatures to
support five prisoners from Belarus, Taiwan, the US, Sudan and Iran.
Last year, 1.5 million signatures were collected during the marathon.
Three out of five persons mentioned in the petition were released,
“Nasha Niva” newspaper reports.
The prominent Russian
musician Boris
Grebenshchikov was among
the first to sign the petition and launch the letter writing marathon
in Russia.
Boris Grebenshchikov carefully read all five
petitions before his concert in Moscow and signed each of them,
including the one for Ales
Bialiatski.
These
letters and thousands of others signed by those who don't regard
human rights as mere words will be sent to the governments of
Belarus, the US, Taiwan, Sudan and Iran.
