The statement that was issued by the council of the Belarusian PEN-Center on 10 August, reads: “Ales Bialiatski is an outstanding public figure, one of the founders of the literary association Tuteishyia and a member of the Belarusian PEN-Center. The civil association Human Rights Center Viasna, established by him in 1996, has defended the values set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus since the very beginning, supporting the people who were arrested during mass protests and their families.

No wonder that Ales Bialiatski was twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for the results of his 15-year work.

“We are convinced of political motivation behind the persecution of Ales Bialiatski and urge the Belarusian authorities to stop persecuting Ales Bialiatski and release him from custody.”
