Belarusian students
demonstrated outside WarsawUniversity in the Polish capital on November 20 to
raise awareness of the criminal prosecution of Alyaksandr Barazenka, a
Belarusian who studied in Poland
but was jailed in Minsk
last month over his role in an unauthorized opposition protest held earlier
this year.
Barazenka
supporters were waving white-red-white flags and passing out leaflets in
Polish. Leaflets in English will be distributed by Belarusian students in Germany and
other European countries. Students passed out leaflets in Krakow
the previous day. The campaign will travel to Lublin,
Gdansk and
Gniezna on Friday. The leaflets urge people to send letters of support to Belarus'
political prisoner.
