Ceasing repressions against political prisoners in Belarus is still on top of the agenda. Andrei Sannikau was released on April 14, 2012, and Andrei Bandarenka, head of Sannikau’s electoral campaign, was set free on April 15, 2012. 13 political prisoners are still in jail – Mikalai Autukhovich (private entrepreneur), Mikalai Statkevich (ex-candidate to the presidency), Ales Bialiatski (human rights defender)among them.
Several dozens of those political prisoners who were released earlier remain un-rehabilitated and deprived of their basic rights.
