"Absolutely inspiring" is how Belarusian opposition lawyer and Duke Law alum Illia Salei LLM ’14 described his conversation with students at Thursday’s 'Lawyers Role in Defending Human Rights in Belarus' event sponsored by the Human Rights Law Society at Duke Law (@dukelawhrls). "I feel a connection with Duke Law, and for me it's very important to share my values with the students. I very much appreciate that they invited me," he said. Salei worked as an attorney for Belarusian protest leader Maria Kolesnikova, amid ongoing protests following a disputed presidential election. In 2020, opposition leaders and Salei himself were arrested, triggering international protest. Last September, following Salei's arrest, Duke Law posted the article 'Duke community members call for release of detained Belarusian opposition lawyer Salei LLM ’14' (link in bio). "For me it was very important to feel this support," Salei said today. "When I saw this statement, my lawyers printed it out for me and brought it for me to jail, I felt inspired and I felt that I'm doing something right for so many people."
