U.N. human rights experts appealed to authorities in Belarus to help political prisoner Pavel Kuchynski, who has been diagnosed with advanced Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Kuchynski was diagnosed with advanced Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which worsened in prison where conditions make it impossible for him to receive a bone marrow transplant, the U.N. experts said in a statement.
Belarusian authorities have cracked down harshly on any form of dissent since the country was rocked by mass protests during President Alexander Lukashenko’s disputed 2020 reelection. The Belarusian opposition and the West denounced the result of the vote as fraudulent.
