Belarusian human rights advocate Alies Bialiacki became the laureate of the prestigious Lech Wałęsa Award in 2012.

“In 2012, the Lech Wałęsa Award was given in recognition of the Laureate's actions for democratisation of the Republic of Belarus, his active promotion of human rights and aid provided for persons currently persecuted by Belarusian authorities,” the official statement says.

“Alies Bialiacki is a Belarusian social activist, politician and human rights defender. He heads Viasna Human Rights Centre and is the Vice President of the International Federation for Human Rights. The two organisations support families of political prisoners in Belarus, providing them with legal and financial assistance. Mr Bialiacki is also an active member of organisations advocating for human rights in Belarus. Twice named a Nobel Peace Prize candidate, in 2006 Alies Bialiacki received the Homo Homini Award from Vaclav Havel.

“In 2011 Alies Bialiacki was sentenced by a Belarusian court to 4-1/2 years of a high-security colony for alleged tax evasion.”

The award ceremony is to take place in Gdansk, Poland, on September 29.
