EHU presents anthology of political prisoners
The European Humanities University (EHU) presents Voice of Freedom from behind Bars: An Anthology of Belarusian Political Prisoners’ Works—a book compiled and edited by EHU faculty member and political scientist Dr. Aleksandr Feduta.
The presentation of the book by Dr. Feduta (former political prisoner himself) will take place at 5 p.m. Wednesday, October 29 on EHU’s campus (Valakupių 5, Room 213).
The anthology Voice of Freedom from behind Bars holds within its covers poetry, memoirs, diaries, stories, and articles written by citizens of Belarus who have been or continue to be politically persecuted. Among the authors are well-known poets, journalists, politicians, and first-time authors.
The book was published by EHU Press with the support of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
