Kirill Kazey is a husband and father of two children. Before his arrest, he worked at a company selling computer equipment and was fully involved in his family’s life. However, in 2021 he was sentenced to 7 years in a high-security penal colony.

My name is Elena Gnauk. I am 68 years old, a former political prisoner, a retiree, a widow, and the mother of three adult children. After my release, I ended up in forced emigration and am now trying to survive.

Kirill and Karolina left Belarus for Lithuania after Kirill was sentenced to three years of “khimiya with assignment” in the “Hajun case.” Karolina has multiple sclerosis, and because of her health condition, she could not have survived four years without her husband. The couple is asking for support until they can work independently.
