We haven't heard from him since early 2023.

Belarusian opposition leader Nikoli Statkevich was detained on May 31, 2020, two months before the "elections."

After 1.5 years, in December 2021, he was sentenced to 14 years in a special regime colony. The political prisoner is serving his sentence in Gluboka colony. Since February 2023 there is no information about him.

Nikola Statkevich is kept in the colony in the most severe conditions: the politician is kept in solitary confinement in dangerous conditions. In prison, Nikolai Statkevich has several times contracted COVID-19.

Natalia Radina, editor-in-chief of the website Charter97.org, demanded the Belarusian authorities to refute the information received from several sources about the possible death of Nikolai Statkevich in prison.

"Show Nikolai Statkevich, if he is alive, to his closest and dearest person - Marina Adamovich. Allow them a visit or at least a video call!

Otherwise, your silence will mean that the sources are right and the death of another political prisoner is on the conscience of Lukashenko and his punishers," said Natalia Radina.

The campaign "Show Statkevich to the people!

A number of European politicians have joined the campaign "Show the people Statkevich!"

We would like to remind that the member of the European Parliament from Lithuania Piatras Auštryavicius nominated Belarusian opposition leader Nikolai Statkevich for the Nobel Peace Prize.
