An action of solidarity with political prisoner Alyaksandr Barazenka was traditionally held near the detention facility in Valadarski Street of Minsk yesterday.

Some tens of activists of the “Young Front” and the civil campaign “European Belarus” formed a human chain near the detention facility holding portraits of the political prisoner and posters “You Must Be with Us” in their hands.

The action of solidarity was attended by leaders of the “Young Front” – Zmitser Dashkevich, Anastasiya Palazhanka, and Zmitser Khvedaruk, website mfront.net reports.

Militia watched the event but didn’t detain anybody.

Young activists come to the detention facility, where Alyaksandr Barazenka is kept, carrying portraits of the political prisoner every day at 7.00 p.m. During the actions, they spread printing materials containing information about him.

Activist of the “European Belarus” civil campaign Alyaksandr Barazenka was arrested on October 27 in a building of the Investigative Committee of Preliminary Investigation of the city militia department of the Minsk city executive committee, where he had been called in for questioning. The oppositionist is one of the figures of the Process of 14, a criminal case, instigated on article 342 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus against participants of a peaceful rally of entrepreneurs, held in Minsk on January 10, 2008. It is remarkable that he was arrested just after the European Union lifted sanctions on high ranking Belarusian officials.
