Babruisk: presentation of book about Ales Bialiatski held not far from the penal colony where he is kept
On 30 March the
presentation of the books "Bialiatski's Case" and
"Enlightened by Belarusian Issue" was held in
Babruisk.
The former book was presented by its author,
journalist of Radio "Liberty" Valery Kalinouski. He told
Babruisk dwellers how the book was written and demonstrated the
photos by which it was illustrated.
"I hope that Ales
will feel that people are talking about his book not far from his
penitentiary today", noted Mr. Kalinouski.
He also
proposed that Babruiskers write a collective congratulation letter on
Easter for Bialiatski. The letter was sent to the colony the same
day.
The book "Enlightened by Belarusian Issue",
written by Ales Bialiatski, was presented by his friend, poet and
folk singer Eduard Akulin. He spoke about the story of their
friendship and sang a song dedicated to the imprisoned friend.
Human
rights defender Zmitser Salauyou answered questions concerning the
activities of the Human Rights Center "Viasna" and invited
everybody to the opening of the new office on 1 April.
All
present people could receive the both books for free. "I advise
that you read Ales' book and wait for his release. Then you can come
to the colony or to the railway station and he will sign it for you",
said Valery Kalinouski at the departure.
