Wife of political prisoner Sergei Kovalenko commented in an interview with "dialogue" saying Lukashenko about the possible pardon of her husband, and also spoke of a round table discussion on Belarus, which recently took place in Warsaw.
- The fact that Lukashenko said a possible review of pardon and anarchist Sergei Syramolatava Paul, I said 10 minutes before the conference in Warsaw Statkevich's wife Marina Adamovich. In my opinion, it was a definite promise of Europe. It is no wonder that it was made on the day of the election. Like, to recognize the election - so maybe I'm someone ... razlezhu and may let you go. And not even with you pagulyaemsya decades ... This trade freedom and the life of my husband.
- Lukashenko said he had received a petition last month ...
- Yes, although well aware of how much time has passed since then, when Sergei wrote a petition. It was the end of July. It's been three months. So to me, it sounded very cynical for Lukashenko nothing month, three, year, or decade of life. This is for me and my family every day - a heavy meal and patience ...
There is always hope, but no illusions about Lukashenka's statements, I do not know. Would not want to be disappointed later because it is a very difficult time in their lives. It was hard to leave the long-term dating, because there the illusion that we are back together as a family. And then ... it's hard. Like Sergei again taken away, as it was then, on December 19, 2011.
- What was it in Warsaw? What was the event?
- Round table, where I was invited, was organized by MEP Marek Migalski and consisted of three sets of questions, which related to our country. In the first section - "Belarus from the presidential to the parliamentary elections" - attended by the wife of Ales Bialiatski Natalya Pinchuk, wife Statkevich Marina Adamovich, sister Irina Bogdanova Andrei Sannikov and Dmitry Bondarenko.
In his opening speech Mialski said that the elections in Belarus have become a farce. I noticed that the so-called Belarusian elections differ from the election in free countries the fact that there are predictable conditions of the elections, and the results - no, but in Belarus is the opposite: the conditions are unpredictable, and the election is very easy to predict. Elected were the ones who ordered choose Lukashenko.
Dmitry Bondarenko said during the conference that took place after the presidential elections, the KGB prison and repression.
- Have you played?
- Yes. I told him about the situation with Sergei. For which he was first given a suspended three-year and how his actions incriminated as hooliganism. The fact that he was beaten, but he was accused that he had resisted. Remember how our family did not give live - go six times a night to check. And about how it ended: on the anniversary Square raided and deception was taken from the house, and the more I did not see Yao.
She told me about his hunger strike. About things that will never forget - when this band was on the verge of life and death.Thank God, now it's all gone. But his health was still worried. And remembered about the signal from one colony that our prisoners are fed forage. She said that normal elections in a country where there are political prisoners, can not be ...
- How do you evaluate the fact that some opposition candidates participated in the elections to the end and not withdrawn from the race?
- I believe they have betrayed the people who today are losing their health and die in prison. I think that they changed also their families. They have not fulfilled their promise. That's all I can say. I am for the boycott, and the first year. And my family did not go to many of these so-called elections, but ... we see what we see.
- Do events like the round table on Belarus in Warsaw have any benefit? Or bring the release of those who are now in prison and suffer for their views?
- I think so. Under the rolling stone gathers no moss. I am very grateful, in particular, Marek Migalski , which does a lot for the release of Sergei. Bondarenko generally believed that Marek - this is the story of his family and his release ... It remains to be patient.
- When is the next meeting with Sergei?
- Short visits forward in mid-October.
