Bulgarian rights advocates support New Life church in Minsk
The New Life church press-center received a letter from the Bulgarian Committee for Defense of Liberty, Democracy and Human Rights in Belarus, reports New Life church press-center.
In this letter Christian rights advocates express support to the New Life church and the Pastor Slava Goncharenko family directly.
In particular the letter says: «We demand that the government immediately reconsiders its actions against Slava Goncharenko and his family, as well as their actions against New Life Church. As Bulgarian citizens and Europeans who share the democratic values of a free society, we demand the Minsk authorities responsible for these immoral actions immediately cease their intentions of forcing the pastor and his family out of their home and possibly demolishing it.
This latest case is not the only case of violation of human rights in Belarus or it might not even be the worst. However, we have chosen this drastic violation to mark the beginning of a systematic and dedicated Bulgarian led campaign for the defense of liberty, democracy and human rights in Belarus».
The Bulgarian Committee for Defense of Liberty, Democracy and Human Rights in Belarus also mentioned that they would inform Bulgarian society of any human rights violations in Belarus and perform deep analysis of Bulgaria and Belarus relationships.
