Believers protest against Dashkevich being humiliated

If the head of the Mozyr colony Yury Zabarouski tried to fill the whole country’s protestant community with indignation with him persecuting a protestant Dzmimtry Dashkevich, than he succeeded.

On behalf of the believers of the Christian Church of the Evangelic Faith of John the Baptist the pastor Antoniy Bokun addressed the department of corrections of the Interior Ministry, General Prosecutor’s office and Lukashenka’s administration calling to stop the pressure on the prisoner of the Mosyr colony, youth organization “Young Front’s” leader, Narodnaya Volia reports.

“Dzmitry Dashkevich is a Christian believer, he has been a parishioner of the Christian Church of the Evangelic Faith of John the Baptist since 2006. It causes lack of understanding and concern that the representatives of the Mozyr colony’s 20 administration express themselves neglectfully towards a Christian confession, which is represented in Belarus by almost 1000 registered communities and unites tens of thousands of believers”, - the statement says.

The pastor of the church which Dashkevich belongs to on behalf of all the believers demands a comprehensive investigation of the facts of the unlawful deeds of the Mozyr colony’s 20 administration.  “We demanded to stop the pressure which Dzmitry Dashkevich is being a subject to, identify and punish the responsible officials and also take measures in order not to let such cases repeat in future”, - the statement says.

It is of no doubt that if not the whole thousand of the protestant communities will now be demanding to investigate the incident with Dashkevich, then a significant number of them.

We would remind, that according to the activists’ information, Dzmitry Dashkevich ended up in a lock-up because of a conflict with the colony’s head and went on a hunger strike to protest against the insults and persecution which were cause by the fact that he belongs not “a wrong faith”.
