We Will Win

Filed under: Belarus Elections - Administrator @ 10:30 pm

Three months ago, Zmicier Dashkevich and I were luckily strolling along the streets of Washington, DC, and New York City. I remember how we went to a Protestant church in the U.S. national capital, what a nice person he was to talk to, how religious and righteous, kind and intelligent he was. His faith in our victory was unwavering. And now after the Court announced the dismal sentence, one and half years of prison, his last words were, “We will win.”
