Freedom for Autukhovich!
Since 2003 Mikalai Autukhovich experiences crackdown of the regime because of his principled stand and active citizenship. He has lost his business and was imprisoned for the second time: the first time he was imprisoned on false economic charges, and now under even more absurd accusations of terrorism and arson. During the first arrest Autukhovich was recognized a political prisoner by the US, and second time he was arrested a day before the term of punishment finished. Autukhovich was on two long-term hunger strikes in prisons, they lasted 50 and 90 days. He doesn’t plead guilty. The life of the political prisoner is in danger, as he has a number of grave chronic diseases.
