Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, at the start of a press conference with Belarusian political prisoners released in December, paid tribute to journalist Mikita Melkaziorau, who died over the weekend.
“I would like to honor the memory of Mikita Melkaziorau. Yesterday, Belarus lost a great son — a talented journalist, a person who worked tirelessly for Belarus and constantly raised the issue of political prisoners.
This is a great loss for the entire Belarusian people. We will all miss you very much, Mikita.
Mikita cared deeply about our political prisoners, and I am very glad that he was able to see that another group of people has been released to freedom,” she said.
