Belarusians held a rally in the center of Vilnius and reminded about those who remain behind bars PHOTOS
It took more than an hour to read out the list of all political prisoners.
On May 21, an exhibition and a rally dedicated to the Day of Solidarity with Belarusian Political Prisoners took place on Cathedral Square in Vilnius.
Belarusians of Lithuania, former political prisoners, and activists gathered to remind everyone: people convicted for their beliefs, civic stance, journalistic work, and the right to speak freely still remain behind bars in Belarus.
The date of the action is not accidental. Exactly five years ago, political prisoner Vitold Ashurak died in the Shklov colony.
Since morning, an exhibition of artworks created by former political prisoners and Belarusian artists was operating on the square.
Some of the paintings and drawings were made directly in prisons and penal colonies.
Among the authors are Pavel Seviarynets, Andrey Voinich, Anatol Khinevich, Volha Yakubouskaya, Ksisza Anhelava, as well as anonymous authors who cannot openly reveal their names.
