Godparenthood for political prisoners in Belarus | Libereco
Konstantin von Notz (deputy chairperson of Alliance ’90/The Greens in the German Bundestag) for Tamara Karavai: “Tamara Karavai, whose godparenthood I have been allowed to take over, has been sentenced to two years in prison. The charge: defamation of President Lukashenko. Despite massive intimidation, Tamara has publicly criticised the country’s leadership. My godparenthood is an expression of solidarity not only with Tamara Karavai, but with all citizens who fight every day for respect for human rights and the rule of law in Belarus. I call for the rule of law and the release of Tamara Karavai and all other unjustly imprisoned people in Belarus. The Belarusian Government must immediately stop the violence, repression and arbitrary arrests, guarantee fair and free elections and finally ensure democracy and the rule of law.”
