June 10, Pozirk. The BySol Solidarity Foundation has launched a fundraiser for the late pro-democracy activist Alaksandar Kłaskoŭski.
The money is needed to cover the costs of repatriating the body and other expenses related to the funeral.
The target is €5,000, of which €4,000 are to transport the body from the United States to Poland and then to Belarus.
Sister Volha Kłaskoŭski wrote on Facebook on June 5 that her 46-year-old brother died in the United States.
Kłaskoŭski is the son of Pozirk’s political analyst, Alaksandar Kłaskoŭski. On December 19, 2010 he showed up at a Minsk protest against election fraud wearing his police uniform that he had kept after resigning from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was beaten and arrested in his apartment two days later and sentenced to five years in prison on May 26, 2011 only to be pardoned a several months later.
