Kazulin won’t go to law against Lukashenka

Political prisoner Alyaksandr Kazulin replied to the statements by Alyaksandr Lukashenka about him, he said in his annual address to the “parliament.”

According to Volha, political prisoner’s daughter, Alyaksandr Kazulin is not planning to go to law against Alyaksandr Lukashenka for insult.

Volha and Yulya, Alyaksandr Kazulin’s daughters, and his grandson Uladzislau met with him in the Vitsebsk colony. The meeting lasted for three days. “This time the colony officers had normal treatment towards us. I convinced myself again that my father has authority even with militiamen,” Volha Kazulina told to Radio Svaboda.

The politician’s daughter said what her father thinks about Alyaksandr Lukashenka’s statements he had said in his annual address to the parliament. We remind that Alyaksandr Lukashenka said “nobody needs Kazulin “ and that he was “used like toilet paper.” The head of state also repeated that Alyaksandr Kazulin allegedly refused from early release and remained in the colony.

“In his view, Lukashenka again showed his nature. My father also thinks a president can’t afford vulgar statements. It concerns “toilet paper” and “crummy opposition.” My father said he pitied Lukashenka and didn’t plan to go to law against him, because it would be evidence of certain state of health. At ours both people and the Constitution are used like toilet paper,” Volha reported words by Alyaksandr Kazulin.

According to Alyaksandr Kazulin, “the Belarusian opposition should unite and seek dismiss of Alyaksandr Lukashenka.” Former presidential candidate Kazulin doesn’t consider Lukashenka to be a legitimate president. What concerns a position of democratic countries, Alyaksandr Kazulin called to further strict sanctions against heads of political regime in Belarus.

Alyaksandr Kazulin also spoke about the diplomatic scandal between Belarus and the US.

“No country in the world and Europe affords such conduct to the US, such scandals. The fact, Alyaksandr Lukashenka affords it in the unstable situation, shows individual peculiarities of the personality of the head of Belarus,” Volha quoted Alyaksandr Kazulin. “My dad called on the US government not to yield the demand on further reducing of the embassy staff, he finds this demand to be absurd,” Volha Kazulina said.

How does Alyaksandr Kazulin, who had a 53-day hunger strike a year ago, feel? “He says he feels well and doesn’t want to say more about his health. He says prison is prison and one can’t expect anything else here,” Volha Kazulina told. “He seemed to be very active. He is ready to be released from the colony, ready to act, ready to get in public life of Belarus.”

Alyaksandr Kazulin has been in prison since 25 March 2006. The politician got five and a half years of imprisonment for accusation of hooliganism and riot organising. Many people in Belarus and in the world seek for release of Alyaksandr Kazulin, who is considered to be a political prisoner.
