💔 Valiantsin Stefanovic remains behind bars in #Belarus
It has been 4 years and 7 months since the arrest of Valiantsin Stefanovic, deputy head of Viasna.
He was sentenced to 9 years in prison for his peaceful human rights work.
Our colleague deserves respect, not imprisonment!
#FreeViasna
❗ The website of #FreeViasna campaign has been declared “extremist” in #Belarus
Our website, freeviasna.org, tells the stories of imprisoned human rights defenders from Viasna Human Rights Center who have been persecuted for their professional activities.
Marfa Rabkova was sentenced to almost 15 years in prison for her peaceful human rights work.
We continue to speak out about her unjust imprisonment and await Marfa’s release.
✊ Do not stay silent — support Viasna’s human rights defender!
#FreeViasna
It was pure emotion to see #Viasna96 's Vladzimir Labkovich & Nobel winner Ales Bialiatski free.
But deeply saddening that Valiantsin Stefanovic, Marfa Rabkova & 1100 others remain unjustly behind bars in #Belarus. All should be freed.

⚡️ Ales Bialiatski is free! ⚡️
The #NobelPeacePrize laureate and founder of Viasna spent over 4 years behind bars for his peaceful human rights work. Belarusian authorities had already imprisoned him once before — he then served almost 3 years.

These prominent human rights defenders continue to serve long, politically motivated sentences simply for their work with Viasna.

Belarusian #humanrights defender and political prisoner Uladzimir Labkovich turns 47 today.
He should be celebrating with friends and family, but instead, he is behind bars as a reprisal for his legitimate human rights work.

💔 Five years and one month
That’s how long human rights defender Marfa Rabkova has been imprisoned in Belarus.
Her “crime”? Coordinating volunteers, documenting torture, and standing up for truth. For that, Marfa received almost 15 years in prison.
#FreeMarfa #FreeViasna
❗At the OSCE conference in Warsaw, Natallia Satsunkevich from Viasna highlighted about the situation of human rights defenders in Belarus and in exile.
#FreeViasna #FreeThemAll #politicalprisoners
🗣️ “The Nobel Peace Prize made our voice visible”
Many jailed in #Belarus are Oleksandra Matviichuk’s friends and fellow #humanrights defenders — people who represent the true future of their country, people who belong to freedom.
#FreeViasna #FreeAles #FreeThemAll
💔 On his birthday, Ales Bialiatski is warmly remembered by his wife and loved ones.
Natallia Pinchuk holds a portrait of the prominent #HumanRights defender, jailed on political grounds — echoing the voices of countless families still awaiting reunion in #Belarus.

Today is Ales Bialiatski’s 63rd birthday. The Belarusian human rights defender and 2022 Nobel Peace Prize laureate is serving 10 years for standing up for freedom. We call for his release and that of all political prisoners in Belarus. #FreeAles #FreeViasna #FreeThemAll
Joining EU SR Human Rights @kajsaollongren.bsky.social in celebrating our friend and colleague Ales Bialiatski’s birthday.
Ales is pillar of the human rights movement in Europe. #Belarus should free him as well as other wonderful #Viasna colleagues unjustly behind bars.
#FreeViasna
💔 Marfa could have spent these five years studying, building her career, and helping animals — not behind bars.
As former #politicalprisoner Andrei Chapiuk recalls, these years of Marfa Rabkova's youth were stolen by prison.

✊ Our silence speaks: Freedom for Marfa Rabkova!
5 years ago, Marfa was arrested for her peaceful activism in #Belarus. Today, the international #humanrights community pauses to mark this ongoing injustice.
Though her voice is behind bars, our solidarity makes it louder. #FreeMarfa #FreeViasna
💔 On this day in 2020, Marfa Rabkova was arrested in #Belarus for her #humanrights work. She’s now serving nearly 15 years, facing loss and poor health behind bars.
Standing for justice shouldn't mean prison.
#FreeMarfa #FreeViasna #FreeThemAll
But we must not forget: more than 1100 political prisoners are still behind bars in Belarus. We will not stop until all of them are free.

🕊 Freedom is not the end of the struggle — it’s only the beginning.
