Godparenthood for political prisoners in Belarus | Libereco
Sandra Bubendorfer-Licht (Member of the German Bundestag for the Freie Demokratische Partei) for Anastasiya Lazarenka: "Anastasiya Lazarenka is paying a high price for her desire for freedom. The lawyer was accused of organising actions that seriously violated public order – for providing free legal aid to relatives of political prisoners. Anastasiya was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment. This is an unimaginable injustice! She must be released immediately! I have the greatest respect and admiration for the people of Belarus, whose courage for freedom is greater than their fear of the regime and its thugs. Many risk their economic existence, health and lives for a self-determined future. Germany and Europe stand by the democratic movement in Belarus. Жыве Беларусь!”
