Rallies urging the authorities to release all political prisoners were held on January 16 in many parts of Minsk. Young activists of the civil campaign “Jeans for Freedom” gathered in the streets with portraits of prisoners of conscience.

Solidarity actions were held on Nyamiha Street, Kalivaryjskaya Street and Yubileynaya Square, in microdistricts Masyukoushchyna and Kuntsaushchyna. Young activists stood in busy spots of the city, along roads holding portraits of political prisoners Alyaksandr Kazulin, Alyaksandr Zdvizhkou and Andrei Kim, calling upon the authorities to release these people.

A traditional prayer was held near St. Joseph Church in Minsk again.
