"Amnesty International" stands up for E.Zeltzer
A human rights defending organization “Amnesty International” has urged its adherents to turn to the Belarusian authorities and demand to provide an American lawyer Emmanuel Zeltzer with the medicine he needs as soon as possible. Human rights defenders also demand that an independent investigation of facts of physical violence against him should be conducted and those who are guilty should be punished. Let us remind you that Zeltzer was detained in Minsk on March 12. He was accused of using fake documents on March 21. Zeltzer is being kept in the KGB confinement cell.
The US Consul Caroline Savage managed to visit Zeltzer twice – on March 27 and on April 25. She mentioned his deteriorating health condition after the second visit: the American citizen grew much thinner and he could hardly walk and talk.
"Amnesty International" urges to write to the Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka, to the Attorney General Ryhor Vasilevich and to the Minister of Internal Affaires Uladzimir Navumau.
