News about Belarus

Great discussion with @Stortinget's Foreign Affairs Committee. I shared my perspective on the escalating repression in #Belarus & the urgent need to act to save the lives of political prisoners. I am grateful that 🇳🇴, one of the strongest democracies, stands with Belarusians. pic.twitter.com/haVEd5Hjxo

Belarus is an independent country, firmly rooted in European values, not a part of Russia. Our aspiration is clear: to return to the European family of democratic nations where we belong. We cannot allow the dictator to drag us back into the shadows of a Soviet past. @globalnews pic.twitter.com/0GieFuneyU

As @DeutscheWelle Belarus was labeled an "extremist formation", we witness Lukashenka's government's frantic attempts to forbid any press freedom. Hard to fully block the internet but easy to criminalize reading free media. The dictator has been scared of the truth for years. pic.twitter.com/DPQFGi1OCT

Belarusian expert community in exile faces another attack. To persecute a group of analysts and political experts, the regime labeled them "Tsikhanouskaya's analysts" and is launching a trial in absentia. This looks like a twisted form of recognition for our best minds. pic.twitter.com/P77AL9qwaT
