Opposition youths make 2012 calendar for Lukashenka

Activists of an opposition youth group called Maladaya Belarus (Young Belarus) made a 2012 calendar that they plan to send to Alyaksandr Lukashenka.

The calendar features images of young women with their mouths taped shut and captions below. The captions said, "How many more murders are needed for the death penalty to be abolished?," "Why are opposition parties and non-governmental organizations not registered?," "Who murdered Zakharanka, Zavadski, Hanchar, Krasowski?," "When will the freedom of speech and association be classified according to the constitution rather than the Criminal Code?," "Where is the promised $500 salary?" and "Cannot you release the political prisoners without torture and beating appeals for a pardon out of them?" //BelaPAN
