styles and different views, who are united by one topic, which
confirms its social importance,” notes the campaign coordinator

Belarus is the last
country in Europe and the former Soviet Union where the death penalty
is retained. Over the past 17 years about 400 executions were
committed, and there was only one case in which a death sentence was
commuted to imprisonment. The project took place in the framework of
the campaign "Human Rights Defenders against the Death Penalty
in Belarus."
The final version of the project will be
released on DVD and as an audio album. The project was implemented by
the creative team of the portal Tuzin.fm.
