U.S. CONGRESS PUSHES BELARUS TO RELEASE
AMERICAN PRISONER EMANUEL ZELTSER
Senior Lawmakers Decry “Inhumane” Treatment and “Unconscionable Abuse,” Join U.S. State Department, Amnesty International in Calling For Prisoner’s Release
“He has been physically assaulted and abused while in detention. We strongly urge you
to immediately release Mr. Zeltser,” say Congressmen
WASHINGTON – In a strongly-worded letter sent this afternoon, a group of senior U.S. Congressional leaders from both political parties who are responsible for U.S.-Belarusian relations called on Belarusian President Lukashenka to release Emanuel Zeltser, an American citizen being held in Belarus. The action comes just days after the U.S. State Department issued its strongest statement to date calling for Mr. Zeltser’s release since he was imprisoned in March, 2008. The full text of the letter can be found below.
The letter was signed by the Chairman, Ranking Republican, and four other Members of the Europe Subcommittee of the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Co-Chairs of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, and a senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
