Description
For the past two years, Marina Adamovich has had no news of her husband -- the imprisoned Belarusian opposition figure Mikola Statkevich. The 68-year-old Statkevich is a veteran opponent of authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus for over three decades. At first, the couple could write to each other twice a week. A few weeks after he was hospitalised with pneumonia, all communication was cut. "I haven't heard from him since then," Adamovich says but adds, "I believe in him, and I believe he's holding on." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
