“The last time I heard my husband’s voice was more than four years ago. I had only five minutes to cheer him up, tell him about our children, and ask about his health. Back then, I didn’t know that we wouldn’t be allowed to speak again. I often replay that conversation in my mind, wondering what else I could have said…
It has now been 700 days since Siarhei was last heard from. I don’t know if he receives birthday greetings or if he has seen the postcards drawn by our daughter. I don’t know when I will hear his voice again. Even a single day without hearing from a loved one is a reason for worry. Karnei, Ahniya, and I have been living with this anxiety for years.
But I am convinced that he feels our support. That his inner strength remains with him. And even in this time of complete isolation, he gives me strength too. We will not stop until Siarhei and all political prisoners are free”.
