Marshall Center Distinguished Alumni Award\u00a0established this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;head of&nbsp;the Viasna Human Rights Center, who&nbsp;had received training from the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies in 2000, was represented at the ceremony by his wife Natalla Pin\u010duk, Viasna reported today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pin\u010duk thanked the Marshall Center leadership for solidarity with her husband and all political prisoners in Belarus. She called for an ultimatum to be issued to the Belarusian government to release political prisoners, saying that any of them could die in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ale\u015b is convinced that our country historically belongs to the European and Euro-Atlantic free world and should return there, although it is being forcibly torn from there by the neighboring empire, whatever it is called. It was the Russian empire, then the Soviet empire, and now it is Putin&#8217;s empire,&#8221; Pin\u010duk noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She&nbsp;expressed hope that &#8220;our friends in the West&#8221; would distinguish the Belarusian people from the regime, which receives military and economic support from Russia and &#8220;surrenders the sovereignty of Belarus for the sake of self-preservation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1993, the Marshall Center is a renowned institute for the study of international security and defense issues. It promotes dialogue and mutual understanding between countries in North America, Europe and Eurasia, and also addresses regional and transnational security issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2023, Bialacki was sentenced to 10 years in prison in a politically motivated case. And in August, the interior ministry labeled Viasna an extremist group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 27,\u00a0Pozirk.\u00a0Ale\u015b Bialacki, a\u00a0jailed Belarusian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, is the first person to\u00a0win\u00a0the George C.
