Co-Chair of the organizing committee of BCD Pavel Seviarynets, detained in the KGB jail, is standing firm, praying and writing a book about Belarus. This was told by the deputy chairman of Minsk city organization of the United Civil Party, Oleg Korban, who shared a prison cell with Pavel Seviarynets but was released on recognisance not to leave.

Mother of Pavel Seviarynets, Vitebsk coordinator of BCD Tatiana Seviarynets, who has not yet been able to meet with his son, says that there is «little fresh news.» «I only know that Oleg Korban, released on recognisance not to leave, has been sharing a prison cell with Pavel for some time. I phoned Oleg yesterday. He told me that Pasha was standing firm, telling about biblical commandments and Christian Democracy, writing a book and  praying. The lawer hasn’t met with him yet.»
 
According to Tatiana Seviarynets, her son has received several parcels while in jail. «He surely got the first parcel, was very grateful. While in a prison cell, he found someone’s Bible. But in general, he is not very demanding for conditions, the main thing is to have a pen, paper and the Bible,» mother of the politician said, the BCD reported.
 
Tatiana Seviarynets also received a written response of the head of the investigative team regarding her request to meet with her son: «I refused, since he considers such a meeting «inappropriate.» This is a decision I’m going to appeal in the Prosecutor General’s Office, as it’s just savagery …,» Tatiana said.
