  • Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “Siarhei Tsikhanouski was deprived of a lawyer”

    December 09, 2022

    “Viktar Matskevich was deprived of his license today. He was expelled from the bar association yesterday after not passing the extraordinary attestation. Viktar is a professional who used to defend political prisoners. I thank him for the dignity he has demonstrated while doing his job all this time and the care he has shown to my husband and other clients. Legal assistance is particularly important when you're in Belarus: a lawyer becomes your defender and ally who brings news from loved ones. But I also want to say that over two and a half years of trying, the regime failed to break Siarhei. And this measure will not change that.”
