5 Years Imprisoned: Mikola Statkevich's Unending Fight for Freedom
Five years ago, Belarusian political activist Mikola Statkevich was arrested. He remains imprisoned, cut off from contact with his family and the outside world for over 800 days. The video shows footage from his arrest and court appearance, where he was sentenced to 14 years in prison for allegedly organizing mass disturbances. "They are holding me without any contact," Statkevich is shown saying in one clip. The video underscores the broader human rights concerns in Belarus and the ongoing struggle for political freedom. The international community continues to monitor Statkevich's case and call for his release. His continued imprisonment serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing political repression in Belarus.
