Former political prisoner to spend 15 days in jail for calls to hold public prayer
A Minsk court has sentenced politician Mikalai Statkevich to 15-day term in prison, his wife Maryna Adamovich says.
Міколу – 15 сутак. Заклікаў выходзіць да галоўных храмаў кожную нядзелю ў 12.00, бо лука, відавочна, рыхтуе выбары, каб далей бесперашкодна рыхтаваць умовы здачы Беларусі

Last week Mikalai Statkevich called upon people to come to the Holy Spirit Cathedral on the Freedom Square in Minsk on April 7 to hold a prayer service in memory of the innocent victims in Kurapaty. Statkevich organized this initiative because of what happened in Kurapaty recently, where on April 4 the authorities demolished more than 70 crosses and detained activists.
Although the public prayer was held, Statkevich failed to take part in the event due to his being preventively detained.
