Amnesty International focuses on imprisoned Belarusian opposition

Amnesty International has launched a campaign in support of former presidential candidate Alyaksandr Kazulin, who is serving time in a correctional facility near Vitsebsk, Belapan reported on January 11. The human rights watchdog called on its members to send Kazulin letters expressing solidarity and support as well as letters to Belarus's prosecutor-general, interior minister, and president demanding his immediate release. Amnesty International in December 2006 recognized Kazulin as a prisoner of conscience.
