Charge d'Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Minsk Ethan Goldrich also visited the presentation.
Akulin sang his new song “Uzydu” dedicated to the human rights activist. Writer Arlou presented the political prisoner his new book “White Mouse Medal” through Byalyatski's wife. “I hope he will receive real medals when he is released,” the writer said.
Participants of the presentation watched footage mostly showing the arrest and the trial over the human rights activist and heard extracts from Kalinouski's novel.
