"Indifference kills" trilogy (video)
A number of actions aimed at the
abolishment of the death penalty is conducted within the framework of
the "Human Rights Defenders Against Death Penalty"
campaign. One of the directions of activism is informing the public
that Belarus is the last country of Europe and on the post-Soviet
space where this barbarian kind of punishment is still used.
The
informational work with the population is conducted in many ways,
including the spread of booklets, leaflets, stickers and banners, and
various kinds of media production.
One of the successful
examples is the "Flight"
cartoon, created by talented volunteers. The cartoon dwells on the
topic of the cruelty and inhumanity of the death penalty in
Belarus.
Before this, participants of the Mahiliou rap band
"Pradmova" Ronia Ronich and Katsia Krasavik recorded a rap
song against the death penalty with the participation of
Uladzimir Niakliayeu, Adam Hlobus, Liubou Kavaliova and human rights
defenders.
"As our experience shows, all these efforts
aren't fruitless", says the campaign coordinator Andrei Paluda.
"This is witnessed not only by the number of views of the
produced videos, but also by the fact that ordinary people get
concerned with this issue and keep sending us independent works
dedicated to this painful topic.
We have received several such
works so far and decided to upload one of them for public view. In
the future we plan to hold a contest of art works and present awards
for the best ones."
