Alena Autukhovich suffers nervous breakdown

Alena Autukhovich, the wife of the entrepreneur from Vaukavysk, suffered a serious nervous breakdown and is current in a rehabilitation center. She has been undergoing treatment for four month, human rights defender Aleh Vouchak told the European Radio for Belarus.
“The wife has been undergoing treatment. She has a very serious breakdown. She wrote a power of attorney in my name, so I deal with all her matters, because she is physically unable yet. She cries and prays that her health is restored”, he said.

It has been impossible to reach Alena Autukhovich over the phone since winter. The entrepreneur's daughter studies in Poland. Mikalai's old mother lives in Vaukavysk. She is over 70 years old.

Mikalai Autukhovich has been on a hunger strike in pretrial detention since April 16.

His lawyer Pavel Sapela says his customer spends nealy all the time in bed.
