“The last time I spoke with my husband was five years ago, and it was only a five-minute conversation because he had already been sentenced. For the past two years, I have not heard a single word about him. He is now a victim of enforced disappearance. I cannot visit him, I cannot receive letters from him, and I don\u2019t even know if he is alive. I live with this pain all the time.<\/p>\n
My children write letters to him, but they get no response. They ask if their father is okay, if he is still alive\u2014it’s an incredibly painful situation. My husband\u2019s imprisonment is my personal pain, but my goal is to free all political prisoners,” said the Belarusian opposition leader.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
