On July 20 the leader of the Young Front Zmitser Dashkevich celebrates his 26th birthday. The leader of the youth movement has to celebrate his birthday in Shklou medium-security correctional labor facility.
Today participants of the motor rally of solidarity with the repressed Young Front members are to congratulate Zmitser near the gate of Shklou medium-security correctional labor facility.
Initiators of the motor rally have decided that despite of the interference by the regime the action is to finish in Shklou, near the colony where Zmitser Dashkevich, the leader of the Young Front, is serving the sentence. Participants of the motor rally will honk as congratulation to Zmitser. They will try to pass a cake to Zmitser and will demand the administration of the colony to sanction a meeting with parents to Zmitser, Radio Svaboda reports.
As we have informed, the democratic activist was sentenced to a year and a half of imprisonment in a medium-security colony on November 1, 2006. He was convicted under Article 193 of the Criminal Code (activities on behalf of an unregistered organization).
Amnesty International, an influential international organization, recognized Zmitser Dashkevich a prisoner of conscience. Representatives of the supreme leadership of the EU and the US demand the Belarusian authorities to release the young activist.
The Charter’987 press-center wishes Zmitser many happy returns of the day and wishes him the earliest release.
