Vorsha Activist: I Resume My One-Person Pickets

Raman Kuzmenkou is going to protest until the authorities really get to solving the situation with unemployment.

Raman Kuzmenkou from Vorsha held two one-person pickets this year with a poster ‘No $500 Here’. In both cases, he was arrested and fined, the website orsha.eu writes.

The other day he sent a notification to the executive office and the Lukashenka Administration, that he would resume holding pickets, this time near the very building of the city executive office. Raman also promises to go on hunger strike in case of arrest, as he believes his current life situation is hopeless.

- Since you do not want to deal with unemployment issues, to really solve the problems of the unemployed, figure out why they do not work, but only aggravate the situation with your silence and arrogance, I resume my one-person pickets. Only now I will do it near the Vorsha regional executive committee.

No fines or detentions matter. I don’t pay fines for anything, I don’t have any property to arrest, and in response to the arrest (administrative or criminal) I will go on a hunger strike (no problem, it’s still very hard with food now).

And so I will continue until you get to the real solution to the unemployment situation. If you think this is a bluff, remember the end of last year. I have already notified the media about my plans. Arresting me silently will not work. I'm not going to stop. The hunger strike and the pickets will not end until a guaranteed solution,” the activist wrote to the authorities.
