Valery Levaneuski put forward the civil initiative to propose Aliaksandr Kazulin as a candidate for Nobel Peace Prize. The former political prisoner and the entrepreneurs leader thinks Aliaksandr Kazulin is worthy of Nobel Peace Prize as a fighter for the Belarusian people freedom.

The main Belarusian political prisoner A. Kazulin sacrificed his post of a minister and his freedom to the democratic future of our nation. Valery Levaneuski thinks that the feat of the irreconcilable fighter against the last Europe’s dictatorship will remain in the new history of Belarus and the former presidential candidate will find his honorable place among other respectable nominees for that prestigious prize.

Besides, in Valery Levaneuski’s opinion, the very procedure of nominating candidates for Nobel Peace Prize allows the international society to pay attention to the problems of Belarusian political prisoners and allow Kazulin not only to receive desired freedom but also be rehabilitated.

Valery Levaneuski announced the formation of the organizing committee on submitting Aliaksandr Kazulin for the Nobel Prize. The procedure of the submitting involves certain legal and formal procedures.

Now Valery Levaneuski has appealed to the leading politicians, civil activists, entrepreneurs, establishments, associations, Belarusian citizens, diplomats, National Assembly and State Parliaments members, international courts members, the Nobel Prize winners with the open letter to support the civil initiative at Norwegian Nobel Committee which is responsible for the candidates selection.

Note: Aliaksandr Kazulin is a professor, PhD, academician of the Academy of Education of the Republic of Belarus, academician of the International Higher Education Academy of Sciences, honorable professor of M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, vice president of Petrovskaya Academy of Sciences and Arts, chairman of the “Belarus – Austria” association, leader of the Belarusian Socio-Democratic Party (Hramada).

The former presidential candidate Aliaksandr Kazulin was thrown behind the bars for the organization of the protest actions against fabricated presidential elections on Freedom Day 25 March 2006. 13 July Minsk Court sentenced him to 5.5 years of prison. Aliaksandr Kazulin went on hunger-strike in prison demanding the examination of the Belarusian issue in the United Nations Security Council. The political prisoner was on a hunger-strike for 53 days, lost more than 40 kg in weight and ruined his health. The high-hearted politician achieved his goal – the USA representative raised the Belarusian question in the UNSC. Amnesty International recognizes him as a prisoner of conscience.
