USA calls for immediate release of Ales Byalyatski

He noted that the USA had called for the immediate and unconditional release of Ales Byalyatski and 40 other political prisoners, informs BelaPAN.
According to Marc Toner, such nongovernmental organizations as “Vyasna” play the key part in any democratic society and the arrest of Byalyatski is pushing Belarus towards self-isolation and violation of international standards on democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

Let us remind you that Ales Byalyatski, head of the human rights centre “Vyasna”, was detained on tax evasion charges on August 4.
