Statkevich: We reject the possibility of any petitions for pardon

The wife of Mikalai Statkevich, Maryna Adamovich, received the second letter from the political prisoner after a long pause.

Two letters, which were written in a four-day interval, were delivered on Saturday, “Belorusski Partizan” reports.

“After one creature visited these places, they began to tighten screws for ‘rebels’. Maybe it is because we reject the possibility of any petitions for pardon and political asylum. Maybe, he suddenly realized that it was not he who imprisoned people, but he himself was imprisoned. And he began to lose his mind,” Statkevich writes.

The news about information blockade of “Decembrists” in Shklou colony No 17 was widely publicized. Presidential candidate Mikaklai Statkevich again names the reason for pressure in his letter to his wife: “We continue to reject the possibility of making any petitions for pardon and political asylum”.

Statkevich notes in the letter that “there are many good and decent people” in the colony. “But almost everyone, but decent and not decent, has the same attitude towards the authorities. They feel themselves what is going on in the country: they know it from letter from their relatives, who do not have money to visit them; they know it from food in the local canteen and prices in the prison shop<” the politician noted.

“Funny things happen there. I attended the English language lessons, but only one time, because later I was forbidden to continue. I borrowed exercise books from the library to learn it by myself. I think my obstinacy will make me do this,” Mikola Statkevich writes.

The political prisoner does not complaint at his health. “I feel good. I am able to overcome the rest things taking into account my military and criminal experience,” he writes.

The politician sends his greetings to everyone who writes him, but he notes he receives letters only from his wife.

Maryna Adamovich noted that “comrade colonel was perhaps offended, but I have been receiving letters for the second day…” The woman did not receive letters from her husband a month ago, but now she’ received two letters in succession. This happened after Maryna Adamovich had visited the Shklou colony and talked to chiefs.

On May 26, the Leninski district court of Minsk sentenced Statkevich to six years in a medium security penal colony for organizing “mass disorders”.
