On December 7, on the last day before the trial, a rally of solidarity with the imprisoned activist of “European Belarus” campaign Ales Barazenka was held in front of the remand prison in Valadarski Street.

His fellow activists from the “European Belarus”, “Young Front”, “Young Belarus” and other youth organisations came to support him. Family of Alyaksandr Barazenka was there too.

In the end of the rally a firework in honour of the political prisoner went off.

Alyaksandr Barazenka, an activist of the campaign “European Belarus”, 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 against high-ranking Belarusian officials.
