Mikalai Statkevich: National Actions To Be Held In Capital Center
Mikalai Statkevich

Rada of the Belarusian National Congress created a national organizing committee for the decent celebration of the Freedom Day in 2017.

The leader of Belarusian opposition and the former political prisoner Mikalai Statkevich said about that to BelaPAN.

"We have discussed the proposal of the social and political campaign "Power to People" for the year 2017. Geopolitical, social and economical situation in Belarus is getting worse, which threatens the state and the rights of the citizens. that is why we have decided that the next Freedom Day should be celebrated in a decent way, in the center of the capital so as to demonstrate the will and decision of patriotic citizens to fight for their country, for their rights ," – he said.

The BNC is going to urge different organizations and parties to take part in the work of the organizing committee. "We are not going to privatize the celebration. but we believe, that under current conditions the celebration should demonstrate our will and decision to defend Belarus. That is why the action should be held in a proper way, in the center of Minsk, rather than in the places for walking the dogs," – Statkevich believes.

"We are ready to cooperate with everybody as equals, provided that these conditions of the celebration of the Freedom Day are observed. We will insist on holding the action in such format, because we cannot celebrate hiding in the corners under current threats," – he added.
