Sviatlana Zavatskaia: Participation in "Elections" Is a Crime

• 2.10.2015, 8:25

"Candidates" in these elections just follow the scenario of the dictator.

Sviatlana Zavatskaia, widow of missed journalist Dzmitry Zavatski, told in the interview with charter97.org about attitude towards "election" campaign-2015.

- How can you access these "elections"?

I think there are no "elections" in the country. The "elections" are as good as an election "campaign". People involved just follow the scenario of Aliaksandr Lukashenka.

I believe it is a crime to play such a game, when Belarus is in critical economic and political condition.

- What are you going to do on the E-day?

- I used to go to the presidential elections in Belarus, although I knew they had been non-democratic. But as they say, hope floats. It seems that everything is over: I have no illusions.

That is why I will ignore them and recommend my acquaintances to do the same.
