Godparenthood for political prisoners in Belarus | Libereco .

Esmah Lahlah (member of parliament for GroenLinks-PvdA in the Dutch Tweede Kammer) for Valeryia Kastsiuhova: “I stand for the release of political prisoners because no individual has the right to be oppressed for expressing their views. I am participating in this campaign because I consider freedom to be a fundamental right, not a luxury. Together for a world in which justice and freedom are self-evident for everyone.” 18.04.24

Stéfanie Prezioso (Swiss National Council, Ensemble à Gauche) for Valeryia Kastsiuhova: “As a member of the Swiss Parliament, I demand the immediate and unconditional release of Valeryia Kastsiuhova and all other political prisoners illegally detained. Freedom of research, of opinion, of the press, of speech are essential universal human rights that must be respected everywhere. I express my full solidarity with all political prisoners and with the Belarusian people who fight for a real democracy. The police violence and arrests of opponents must stop. Belarusians have the right to decide their future by themselves.” 18.11.21
