human rights defender Uladzimir Malei dedicated a ten-kilometer
marathon to the freedom of the head of the Human Rights Center
“Viasna” Ales Bialiatski. He came to the 30th jubilee marathon
which took place in Malaryta wearing a T-shirt with a portrait of
Ales Bialiatski and the inscription “Freedom to Bialiatski!”
Uladzimir Malei took the third prize place in his age group.
“While
Ales is behind bars, each of my marathons will be dedicated to the
demand to release the innocent convict, who suffers just for the
desire to live in a democratic Belarus.”
Over the past
years, Uladzimir Malei has been running in the marathon competitions
wearing this T-shirt. The authorities haven't had any claims to him
for that.
The competition was attended by runners from
Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Russia.
