Action in support of Syarhei Kavalenka takes place in Brest
It was organized by the activists of the civil campaign "Tell the Truth!".
According to the information provided by BelaPAN, they pasted about 100 leaflets in the most
crowded places of the city. The leaflets bear pictures of Kavalenka and the
judge who made the sentence, and the following sign: "You think this has
nothing to do with you? Just wait for the new GULAG". The activists say
that they wanted not only to turn the public's attention to Syarhei Kavalenka's
destiny but also to express their protest against political repressions in our
country.
On March 20, the
Bresters also sent letters to Kavalenka's parents, in which they expressed
their support and hope for the quick release, and congratulated them on the
upcoming Freedom Day.
Let us remind you,
Syarhei Kavalenka is on a hunger strike as a protest against the sentence which
he considers unfair. On February 24 he was sentenced to two years and a month
of imprisonment in a minimum-security colony.
