Gennady Karpenko’s Wife Applies for Asylum in Germany 11:10, 15/01/2002
Ludmila Karpenko, wife of the deceased under strange circumstances on April 6, 1999 Vice-Speaker of the 13th Supreme Soviet and Lukashenko’s outspoken opponent Gennady Karpenko, applied for political asylum in Germany. Charter’s press-center learnt this from the well-informed sources. As you remember, a few weeks ago Ludmila Filippovna Karpenko headed to Germany together with her family – her son, his wife and their daughter. Ludmila Karpenko chairs the “Gennady Karpenko’s Foundation”, which is currently investigating into her husband’s tragic demise. In case the lady receives political shelter on the German soil, she will coordinate the organization’s activities from there. As you remember, over two years ago the family of the disappeared ex-Interior Minister Yuri Zakharenko received political asylum in Germany. Karpenko had numerously reported of the constant pressure, which the authorities exerted on her and her family in Belarus. She complained about problems with employment, telephone and apartment’s eavesdropping, surveillance.
