Civil activist and a mother of many children Tatsiana
Hatsuara (pregnant at the time) turns 31 today.
She was detained by an unknown man 9.20 a.m. The woman managed to inform human
rights activists that she was taken to the Tsentralny District Police
Department of Minsk. From there she was guarded to the Tsentralny District
Court where she was fined 700,000 rubles for holding an unauthorized action.
The matter is that on 6 December she had sent an address to Aliaksandr
Lukashenka, asking to commute the death penalty to Dzmitry Kanavalau and
Uladzislau Kavaliou for a life sentence, Euroradio reports.
In order to hand in the address to Aliaksandr Lukashenka, Tatsiana Hatsura
staged a performance. Accompanied by her 10-year-old and 9-year-old sons, she
came to the building of the Administration with a poster: “Mister President, I
have 4 children, who will guarantee a right to life for them?”
