Bantsar: Hrodna prisoners continue hunger strike

Let us remind you, administrative detention of Ihar Bantsar, journalist and member of the Union of Poles in Belarus, expired today. He was on hunger-strike together with other detainees for the silent protest action. Bantsar has informed in a conversation with Euroradio that they used water, and their number is likely to increase:

“Journalist Ales Dzianisau was on a hunger strike together with me. There were also just activists. For the last several days, I shared the cell with Zmitser Bandarchuk, who was also on a hunger-strike. There were three hunger-strikers this time. When I walked out of prison I told the guards that if the situation with illegal detentions continued there would be half of prisoners or all of them on a hunger-strike”.

Bantsar noted that he felt okay after the hunger strike.
