Dzmitry Palienka's Father: My Son Needs Moral Support Now

Write a few kind words to the political prisoner.

Aliaksandr Poalienka, the father of ex-political prisoner Dzmitry Palienka, who is now under investigation, told the palitviazni.info site about the difficulties the family faces now.

"Now, obviously, moral support is very important for the son," - Aliaksandr says.

We remind that former political prisoner Dzmitry Palienka, who was detained on March 20, has been charged under several articles of the Criminal Code.

Now he is in pre-trial detention center No. 1.

"The last time I saw my son was in March," - Aliaksandr Palienka says. - We haven't had any meetings with him, and we don't correspond with him either. Basically, we keep in touch with him through the lawyer, but he's also under the signature of non-disclosure, so he can't say everything."

Aliaksandr Palienka notes that this is a very difficult moment for the family.

"It seems that only recently Dzmitry left the colony, started a new life, registered as a craftsman, and then - such a thing, - he adds. - It was obvious that the law enforcers wouldn't leave him alone anyway. They forced him to go to lectures at the police station, although many others who had left the colony were not subject to this rule. They fined him.

It is clear that such attention was primarily due to his social activities and his connection with the anarchist movement. But it seems to me that in such a situation, it is all the more necessary to be more vigilant and prepared for possible provocations.

Of course, it's hard to talk about it, and now I don't even know what kind of court sentence there will be. One thing I know for sure is that he needs moral support now. Therefore, if anyone has the opportunity, write to Dzmitry a few kind words. It will be easier anyway."
