Tatsiana Khomich revealed that prison guards are trying to convince Maria Kalesnikava that the world has forgotten her, emphasizing the importance of keeping her story alive.
Khomich stated, 'It's very important to spread the word about Maria. To share the truth about her and the conditions - and that she's dying of hunger in the centre of Europe.'
Kalesnikava was previously a renowned flautist who led a campaign for opposition leader Viktar Babaryka before facing arrest during the protests against dictator Lukashenko.
Maria Kalesnikava's imprisonment and the actions against her highlight the repressive climate of Belarus under President Alexander Lukashenko's rule, illustrated by mass arrests and violent crackdowns.
