  11. Write for Rights Campaign Case Study... BELARUS Ihar Tsikhanyuk BEATEN by police FOR BEING GAY Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) individuals face negative stereotyping and prejudice in Belarus, where there are currently no registered LGBTI organisations. In January, Ihar Tsikhanyuk, an openly gay drag performer and LGBTI rights activist, unsuccessfully attempted to register Human Rights Centre Lambda, with the authorities as an LGBTI organisation. He was subsequently questioned by police, who subjected him to physical and verbal abuse because of his sexuality. No one has been held to account for Ihar’s mistreatment. He and others connected to Human Rights Centre Lambda remain at risk of further threats and abuse because of their sexuality and LGBTI activism. www.amnesty.org.uk/ihar

  12. ‘I don’t want to hide myself. I live openly. It is not easy in Belarus, but I want to show people that I am a person like everybody. Maybe with my example I want to show that it is possible to live openly.’ Ihar Tsikhanyuk SEND A SOLIDARITY CARD TO: Ihar Tsikhanyuk c/o Belarus Team Amnesty International 1 Easton Street London WC1X 0DW Preferred language Belarusian, Russian and English Salutation Dear Ihar Tsikhanyuk Suggested message We admire your work in such difficult circumstances and wish you success in it.

Ask him to end the obstruction, harassment and intimidation of non-governmental organisations involved in human rights in Belarus.

  14. Respond Lord Jesus,you experienced in person torture and deathas a prisoner of conscience. You were beaten and flogged and sentenced to an agonizing death though you had done no wrong.Be now with prisoners of conscience throughout the world.Be with them in their fear and loneliness, in the agony of physical and mental torture,and in the face of execution and death. Stretch out your hands in power to break their chains.Be merciful to the oppressor and the torturer,and place a new heart within them. Forgive all injustice in our lives,and transform us to be instruments of your peace,for by your wounds we are healed. Amen Amnesty International, ‘Prayers for Peace’, SPCK
