Hrodna dwellers informed about political prisoner Rubtsou

In Hrodna activists of “European Belarus” civil campaign have held a rally of solidarity with Yury Rubtsou.

Leaflets were disseminated in the busy spots of the city and in post boxes. The leaflets contain a short summary of the political persecution against the activist from Homel, starting from the administrative case on April 28, 2014 and ending with the punishment for the criminal case of October 6, 2014. As charter97.org has found out, the full text of Yury Rubtsou’s last word at the court was also published in the leaflets.

“We admire the courage and heroism of the person who was not afraid to say to face to the system what it is in reality. His social activism, adherence to principles and determination despite the regime evoke the most sincere respect and serve as an example of struggle for us,” activists said.
