Godparenthood for political prisoners in Belarus | Libereco 

Clare Haughey (Scottish National Party) for Zhana Volkava: “I am pleased to be able to show my support for Zhanna Volkava, who is now serving 3 years in a Belarusian prison, and my thoughts are with her and her family.  It is almost unimaginable that what should have an unremarkable day when she visited her child’s school turned into the start of such a nightmarish experience. Her imprisonment is a terrible abuse of human rights by the Lukashenko regime, and I call for her to be released. For the sake of Zhanna and her children, and for all of the prisoners and their families who are affected by these unjust and inhumane sentences, they must all be released unconditionally and immediately.”


Zhanna Volkava was detained on 11.05.23 at school No. 63, where the woman came to meet her child’s teacher.  According to media reports, during the 2020 protests, police detained Volkava on administrative charges.
