“I would like to listen to the conditions of release offered by Lukashenka to Alyaksandr. The things said by his messenger to us were unacceptable. It would be a dishonourable flight from the country,” the open letter of the wife of the former candidate for presidency Alyaksandr Kazulin, Iryna Kazulina, published at the web site of the politician.
“Spitting upon our family has offended sensibilities,” Iryna Kazulina writes. “Though sometimes it seems that nothing of the kind could throw us off balance anymore, the cynicism is shocking. In his letters my husband writes that I am the greatest concern for him. Every morning he starts with a prayer for my health”.
48-year-old Iryna Kazulina, who suffering from an oncological disease, stresses that their children visited the colony not to “beg their father to save mother, but to discuss the current situation”.
“We, our children and all our family understand Alyaksandr, support him, love him and are waiting for his unconditional release,” A. Kazulin’s wife writes in her letter.
On February 15, answering questions of journalists in Vitsebsk, Alyaksandr Lukashenka said there is no more the question on political prisoners: “As far as I know, only Kazulin didn’t agree with this position.The matter was that his wife is ill and the EU ambassadors addressed me. It can happen to anybody, things do happen. I agreed – let him accompanied his wife. We helped her as we could. Once we offered to send her to Germany. She may be treated in Germany, he needs to follow his wife,” A. Lukashenka noted. “As for the information I’ve received this morning, he refused to treat her. But these are family troubles, he refused, it’s his problem. I offered everything I could, but he refused to treat her,” the president said. He (Kazulin) refused even after his daughters came to him and persuaded him to rescue their mother (Kazulin’s wife), but he doesn’t need this mother.I don’t want to intermeddle in other people’s business, time will place everything to order,” A. Lukashenka concluded.
