Dozens of members of the Belarus political opposition have recently been sentenced to substantial prison terms for participating in the peaceful opposition demonstration on December 19, 2010, known as Presidential Election Day. Among those sentenced were several former presidential candidates, including Mikola Statkevich, who was sentenced to a six-year term. These convictions, believed by many to be unfair and unconstitutional, come in the midst of one of the worst economic crises in Belarus's history.
