Ales (Alaksiej) Anatoljevich Michalevic the 36 year old Belarusian politician and 2010 presidential candidate in the Republic of Belarus, has fled the country following his release from prison and his making of public statements that he and other political prisoners had been tortured. Michalevic was arrested by KBG agents on the eve of the election along with other opposition candidates in a brutal crackdown against those who ran against the incumbent President Alexander Lukashenko referred to as Europe’s last dictator, and charged with organizing mass riots. Hundreds of pro-democracy activists have been arrested and subjected to torture including painful physical stress positions, denial of clothing in extreme cold conditions, and being held in cells at temperatures of 10C.
