German MP calls for doctors, family, lawyer to be allowed to Kaleśnikava
September 3, Pozirk. German MP Thomas Rachel (CDU) has called for the International Red Cross, family, and lawyer to be allowed to see Belarus’ prisoner Maryja Kaleśnikava.
Rachel took to Twitter (X) to exercise “parliamentary guardianship” of Kaleśnikava, a campaign manager for presidential hopeful Viktar Babaryka in 2020. The political prisoner’s condition is alarming, the deputy said.
The German-based International Society for Human Rights supported Rachel’s call. It said Kaleśnikava’s health is worrying as she weighs only 45 kg.
Earlier, her sister Taćciana Chomič said that Kaleśnikava has been held incommunicado for more than 560 days while her family members have to seek news about her from current and former inmates.
Prison wardens are slowly murdering Kaleśnikava by refusing her the diet she needs and by withholding communication with her family, she said.
