Uladzimir Niakliaeu Belarusian poet arrested again, "celebrating" freedom in prison

* The dictator dared to compare the struggle of the people for the independence with the actions of the Nazis and the Holocaust.

"My father Uladzimir Niakliaeu, Belarusian poet and activist, arrested again today in Minsk. The arrest was made before the demonstration of the Freedom Day of the 25th of March - the day when Belarus celebrates 100 years of independence. Do not forget this: he will be celebrating freedom in prison." (Eva Neklyaeva on facebook)


-  Uladzimir Niakliaeu and his daughter Eva have both been living in Finland (my comment).



Former Belarusian presidential candidate Mikalaj Statkevich wrote: "I feel great pity for Uladzimir Niakliaeu. We forbade him to go to this procession, because last year he was detained by the riot police in Brest in such a way that he was seriously injured and is now undergoing a course of treatment that cannot be interrupted.

Today's detentions are brutal," (https://charter97.org/en/news/2018/3/21/283582/)

"Då bad jag till den högste domaren
"Döm inte! - och från valven
Ljöd ett skrik ur alla epoker
Motsägande min bön:
"Vi älskar friheten som fängelset!
Och hatar, som vi älskar det!..."

Ur: diktboken "Brev till Volha och friheten" s, 59 av Uladzimir Njakljajeu (en bok jag har tack vare Maria Söderberg)

* Charter 97: "Lukashenka’s regime surpasses itself in its meanness"
https://charter97.org/en/news/2018/3/24/283909/
– "The arrests of fighters for freedom of Belarus Yauhen Afnahel, Maksim Viniarski, Leanid Kulakou, Uladzimir Niakliayeu, Viachaslau Siuchyk on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the Belarusian People's Republic demonstrate to the world again the small-mindedness and meanness of the dictator and his shills.

Among those under the threat of arrest are Mikalai Statkevich and Volha Nikalaichyk, other leaders and activists of the democratic forces of Belarus, against whom a real round-up has been organized. --- The dictator’s meanness manifested itself in his public speeches on the eve of the landmark date of Belarusian history. He dared to compare the struggle of our people for the independence with the actions of the Nazis and the Holocaust."
