Dear countrymen, Belarusians! Four years ago there disappeared without a trace Viktor Gonchar and Anatoly Krasovsky. Four years we and our children have been dwelling in a constant nightmare, not knowing whether our loved ones are alive or dead. The regime, which is supposed to protect the life and rights of every individual, pretends as though nothing happened on that September night 1999, although another two names were added to the list of the missing ones. It has long been clear: Viktor Gonchar, Anatoly Krasovsky and Yuri Zakharenko before them, and Dmitry Zavadsky – after them were all abducted for what they had been doing.
When a person dies, his relatives and loved ones come to visit his tomb in order to pay last tribute of memory and mourning to the one, whom they loved and with whom they lived the best years of their life. But we, the families of abducted people, have no such place on this huge planet, where we could bow down before the dearest piece of land. And for this reason we’ve been gathering for many a year now on the Oktyabrskaya square in order to remind the authorities, which is reluctant to find perpetrators of these crimes, that we still remember.
We want to know truth about the fate of our loved ones. And so on September 16 at 12.30 we will raise the portraits of the missing ones, forming the “chain of those who care” in the Oktyabrskaya square of the Belarusian capital in order to pose another silent question to the state rulers. If you are not with us yet, you still have an opportunity to support our families and stand shoulder to shoulder with us. We urge you to uphold our action. We raise our voices so that no other mother, wife or child in Belarus would suffer the grief, which had befallen us…
