“As Earlier, Nobody Wants to Go On Living”
Open Letter to President Aliaksandr Lukashenka
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
Since 19 December, we have been living in another country: arrests of demonstrators, detention of presidential candidates by the KGB, nightly searches for opposition members and dissidents. Just a little more, and we will have show trials. The trained masses will scream: “Crucify him!” Former colleagues will become traitors. Students will betray their professors, professors their students. Society is split. Does that not frighten you?
