Opposition activist on hunger strike in Novopolotsk

Novopolotsk, 10 April. Anatoly Kulik, an activist of the opposition Conservative Christian Party (CCP), went on a hunger strike on April 8 to protest Aleksandr Lukashenko inauguration for a third presidential term.
"The hunger strike is a protest against violence that authorities used against Belarusian citizens on March 25 in Minsk and also against the so-called elections. The person declared the winner was not eligible to run in that election," Mr. Kulik told BelaPAN.
He said he would continue the hunger strike for two weeks. He works for a private company in Novopolotsk.
"To my regret I was not lucky to join those who took to the streets in Minsk after March 19 and March 25, although I fully support their actions. My hunger strike is a way to show that non-violent resistance to violence continues. I would like the public to know about it," he said.
