I don't even know if it's alive

Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Cichanouskaja considered a photo of a prisoner Siarhej Cichanouski.

« I don't even know if he is alive, where he is considered, and if alive, what his emotional and physical condition, » said the Belarusian opposition leader.

« While here we are trying to help political prisoners, we want as many people as possible to learn about what is happening in Belarus, » the protest was talked to.

« People in prison because they protested against Lukashenko, and now they are forbidden to communicate with the world, » another protester said.

The protest was held on Sunday because exactly two years ago, Mr Cichanouskaja received the last news from his imprisoned man – so far silence.

S. Cichanouski was imprisoned after he intended to participate in the Belarusian presidential election in 2020. When he was arrested, his wife was placed in the election.

“Our family is not the only one. Currently, at least 1.2 thousand. Political prisoners in Belarus, at least 9 prisoners are isolated in Silence mode, « Cicanouskaja said.

« That mode is Incommunicado. People can't write, can't talk to anyone. It is a very small room, and here's the punishment, ”stressed Dzianis Kuchynski, a diplomatic advisor to Cichanouskaya.

Even lawyers are not allowed to communicate – human rights activists are a form of torture.

« The regime is afraid of the negative opinion that there will be more knowledge about it, » Kuchynski assured.

The congregation asked to reveal whether people were alive, and not only.

“We demand that the United Nations Secretary General and the United Nations Chief Human Rights Commissioner intervene in this situation. We also encourage the governments of all countries in the world to press Lukashenko's regime and demand that political prisoners be released, ”Cichanouskaja said.

“I have been in Lithuania for three years. Quite a few Belarussians I knew left Belarus. Those who are left, many are afraid of everything, are afraid to appear with the opposition flag, because they can be sent to prison, ”said one of the protest.

“My parents stayed in Belarus. They live in fear, they do not know what will happen tomorrow, just like thousands of others, ”said another protester.

“As in Stalinism, write in the » Slava Ukrainian « Facebook and receive five years in prison. This is not the Bajer, here are the times, ”Kuchynski explained.

At the beginning of the year it was recorded that about 60 thousand people live in Lithuania. Belarussians.

“We want to say that almost all of the woes are before the war in Ukraine and against Lukashenko. It seems to me that we need to communicate more. I told my girlfriends that I needed to learn Lithuanian language, culture – everyone knows about it, trying. The fact that we talked about Litvinism is the KGB and the FSB, we need to be careful with that, ”Kuchynski said.

D. Kuchynski, who has been living in Lithuania for ten years, said it was only a matter of time when people in Belarus would go to the streets again.

« We work, we are waiting for that moment, » Kuchynski said.
