My sister is 'slowly dying' in Belarusian prison, says activist's family

Cikk tartalma röviden

Maria Kalesnikava, a leading Belarusian opposition figure, was detained four years ago and sentenced to eleven years in prison after resisting deportation to Ukraine. Her health has deteriorated significantly during her imprisonment, and contact with her family has ceased. Kalesnikava, a musician and political activist, became prominent in the opposition after supporting Viktor Babaryka's presidential campaign. Despite the crackdown on dissent in Belarus, she remained in the country to fight for democratic principles. Her sister, Tatsiana Khomich, is determined to keep her legacy alive and raise awareness about her deteriorating condition in prison.
