Call for solidarity with Belarus

Belarus. For freedom of speech and assembly.

"On 6 August 2018 the Frunzenski district court in Minsk, Belarus, sentenced the co-chairman of the Belarusian Christian Democracy, Pavel Seviarynets, one of the leaders of the protests against the restaurant Let's Go Get Some Eats near Kurapaty memorial. Later on the same day he was arrested nearby his the house, where he lives with his family, as his wife reported.


The court considered the presence of Seviarynets near the restaurant with a flag the "unauthorized picket" and and sentenced him to 10 days of arrest. The politician considers this verdict as lawless. ---

The BCD calls for solidarity with Pavel Seviarynets and as well as with all civil activists suffering from state repressions for using their rights for freedom of speech and assembly.

The situation with freedom of speech, organisations, assembly continues to be very troublesome in Belarus. The attack on independent trade-unions and mass media continues and increases its scale."
