Wife of political prisoner Ihar Losik: «They organized a torture chamber for my husband»

— My hus­band Ihar Losik is a  con­sul­tant of RFE/RL. He was arrest­ed on June 25 near home in Baranavichy. Since then nei­ther I, nor our daugh­ter Pauli­na, who has­n’t turned 2 yet, nor his par­ents were able to see him, — says Daria.

She believes, the jail admin­is­tra­tion «con­scious­ly cre­ates inhu­man con­di­tions» for her hus­band: they trans­fer him from one cell to anoth­er, deprive him of let­ters and news­pa­pers, put him in a cell with a per­son with head lice, keep him in the base­ment, in a tiny cell, where it is impos­si­ble to even make a few steps.

— Let me be blunt about that — they cre­at­ed a tor­ture cham­ber for my hus­band and our daugh­ter’s father, hav­ing put him in pret­ty beast­ly con­di­tions.

Daria is sure they will not man­age to wear her hus­band down and he will not bear false wit­ness against him­self or oth­ers.

— You will not achieve your goal by increas­ing pres­sure on Ihar. But you can over­shoot the mark — empha­sizes Daria Losik.

Daria addressed the Inves­tiga­tive Com­mit­tee, the Gen­er­al Pros­e­cu­tor’s office, and the Main Depart­ment for Com­bat­ing Orga­nized Crime urg­ing them to stop pres­sure on her hus­band,  to release him and stop humil­i­at­ing him and their fam­i­ly.
