Colony tightened pressure on Alyaksandr Kazulin

Alyaksandr Kazulin had a short meeting with his daughters in the colony “Vitsba-3.”

The meeting of Alyaksandr Kazulin with his daughters Volha and Yulya lasted for 2 hours. “The law allows 4-hour meetings, but the administration of the colony permitted only a reduced one. It reflects the current attitude of the colony administration towards my father,” Volha Kazulina said after the meeting, Radio Svaboda reports.

The daughter of the politician told her first impressions to human rights activist Raisa Mikhailouskaya. According to her, “Kazulin faces the pressure, he didn’t meet before. He is searched all the time, they are looking for a telephone, SIMs, etc. They took away an electric hot plate, and a juicer. They explain he is not on a hunger strike any more and can eat in canteen, like other prisoners. He keeps well and brave. But at the same time he supposes he has no chances for early release. He thinks his arrest is a personal revenge of Lukashenka, and he will never let him free. The attitude of the prison administration lets him understand he won’t be released,” the human rights activist emphasised.

According to Kazulin’s daughters, the colony continues artificial isolation of Kazulin from other prisoners. People trying to come in contact with Alyaksandr Kazulin are threatened or pressed.
