Learning from HRDs: Executions in Belarus - Conveyor of death in the heart of Europe

  • University of York, Heslington York YO10 5DD (map)

Andrei Paluda, a death penalty abolition campaigner, will talk about the procedures of executing people in Belarus, a tradition still in place from the Soviet Union era. He will speak about the suffering of people, secret burials and executions in central Minsk, and ask what do human rights defenders do, both in Belarus and around the globe, to put an end to capital punishment?
