Godparenthood for political prisoners in Belarus | Libereco
Paula Piechotta (German Bundestag, Alliance 90/The Greens) for Tatiana Kouzina: “Taccjana Kuzina, founder of the School of Young Managers in Public Administration, who was arrested on 28 June 2021 at the airport on her way to Tbilisi, has now been in detention for over a year. I have taken on a political godparenthood for her. The people in Belarus, like those in Ukraine, want freedom and peace. Many people in East Germany also demonstrated for this in the streets in 1989. We support them in this and demand the release of all political prisoners and new democratic elections.”
Tatsiana Kouzina is a co-founder of the School of Young Managers in Public Administration Sympa, an expert at the bipart research project, and holds a Master’s degree in Political Science.

It later became known that her detention was linked to a criminal case.
