Jul- och nyårshälsningar - Christmas and New Year greetings - Total lawlessness in the court room

III. Charter 97, Belarus. Syarhei Kavalenka, on hunger strike, to welcome in New Year behind the bars "because someone has to" ("потому что") -

(someone hanged out a white-red-white flag on a building in Vitebsk).

"The activist had been studying in Poland since 2013. He returned home for a vacation a week before, Alena Kavalenka told. He was detained on December 24, soon after a huge white-red-white flag was hanged out on a high-rise building in central Vitsebsk.

The events in the court room were called a total lawlessness by Alena Kavalenka. She stressed that her husband was not allowed to make use of his lawyer’s services. Instead of that he was offered services of the state lawyer on duty, who was not defending the accused in fact."

Honoring Alena Kavalenka. Imagine that there was a white-red-white flag on the top of the Christmas tree in Jakobstad, the town hall - or rather on the balcony! (I'll never drop the flag, Kavalenka!)
