Ales Bialiatski continues his literary work in jail
A
book of memoirs and socio-political articles by the head of the Human
Rights Center “Viasna”, political prisoner Ales Bialiatski, is
being prepared to publication. The bulk of the book was written by
him in jail.
According to the compiler of the book, Palina
Stsepanenka, the new book will be a logical continuation of the
published one, “Englightened by the Belarusian
Issue”.
““Englightened by the Belarusian Issue” was
exclusively literary book, whereas this one will include his memories
of the socio-political activities. Recently he has started writing
about Viktar Ivashkevich. He writes about the times when he was an
activist of the anti-Communist youth underground movement, as well as
about his human rights activities and the creation of “Viasna”.
All interviews will be collected there as well.
According to
Palina Stsepanenka, the book will be released in 2014. At present the
final work over this work, comprising more than 500 pages, is
implemented with the participation of Ales Bialiatski himself, who
edits the materials by correspondence.
