The wife of a Belarusian Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Ales Bialiatski, has raised concerns about the deteriorating health of her husband due to the authorities' refusal to provide him with necessary medication. Bialiatski, a 61-year-old pro-democracy activist, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence in Belarus. His family reports that his serious chronic illnesses have worsened during his three years of incarceration.
Despite efforts by his family to supply him with medicine, Belarusian authorities have been withholding the medication, according to Bialiatski's wife. The Interior Ministry has not responded to requests for information regarding this matter.
