Statkevich should not know his rights
According to statkevich.org, this seems
to be the opinion of the administration of the Mahiliou colony #4
where the political prisoner Mikalai Statkevich is kept.
“I
cannot explain in any other way the enviable stubbornness with which
they keep returning me a printed copy of the Belarus’ Council of
Ministers resolution #1564, which gives the nutrition standards and
the standards for provision of the means of personal hygiene for
prisoners. I have tried several times to send this resolution to
Mikalai”, – the wife of the 2010 presidential candidate and
present political prisoner Mikalai
Statkevich Maryna
Adamovich says.
“I
am sure that prisoners have a right not only to know what the state
guarantees to them (for that this resolution’s standards should be
in every cell and in every brigade in a colony), but also receive
everything they should without any seizures”, – Maryna Adamovich
believes.
“The people are not only not guaranteed the right
for humane treatment – even the minimal state undertakings aren't
observed. The state hides the existence of these rights under various
cover ups. Prisoners are completely defenseless before the
administration; their complaints often do not leave the colonies and
prisons’ walls. Specialized information resources are literally
filled with evidence.
It reaches the level of absurd, when to
Mikalai’s request to explain where the prescribed by the
government’s resolution means of hygiene or food are, they would
respond that money is not taken from his pension for that. I am
sorry, but for what? May be for “resort” conditions? For a cell
without a floor? For a wet ceiling? For the plaster falling off the
walls? For the absence of daylight? For the cold, which is,
apparently, a special service for preserving a good shape? ” –
the woman wonders.
