I say to my fellow Belarusians: Never underestimate your power. Alone, you may feel like a single drop, but together, we form an ocean capable of moving mountains. Believe in yourself, stand united, and never lose heart. Each one of us plays a vital role in shaping our future! pic.twitter.com/pmLofprUU7

Confronting the #Belarus dictator has always carried great risks. On May 7, 1999, politician Yury Zakharanka, a resolute opponent of Lukashenka, was kidnapped & likely killed by the regime's thugs. We must put an end to three decades of such horrible crimes by this dictatorship! pic.twitter.com/wq2EyJ3Teu

Can you fathom the depths of tyranny in Belarus? On this day 25 years ago, the regime secretly executed former Minister of Interior, General Yury Zakharanka, for opposing Lukashenka during his initial presidential term. Zakharanka's family, like many others, still seeks justice. pic.twitter.com/LTzCVaK02k
