On Christmas 2022, the Belarusian human rights activist Ales Bialiatski sent this card to his colleague Ales Kapucki. The blue stamp shows that the card was sent from the pre-detention centre SIZO No. 1 in Minsk, where Bialiatski was detained at the time. The greeting reads:
“Dear Ales!
I congratulate you on the feast of the birth of God!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I wish you all the best! May dreams come true!
Ales Bialiatski, 28 December 2022.”
Bialiatski had been detained in 2021, accused of tax evasion. He was in prison when it was announced in October 2022 that he had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2023, he was sentenced to ten years in prison for smuggling and financing political protests.
The postcard was donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by Ales Kapucki in 2022. - Pristagare
