Finally… after all those years and…
Masha is free!

Today, released from prison - outside the Belarusian border this time.

Still though: every political prisoner must be freed.

'They start to believe that repression is a reaction, not a deliberate system.'

'Lukashenka doesn't repress because activists are too radical. He represses because repression works - for him.'

We are worried by this absence of information and remember that this abduction of the leader of Narodnaya Hramada is totally illegal.

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.

Seeing Siahrei and Sviatlana reunited deeply moved me.

Their unbending resolve to continue fighting for a #FreeBelarus is impressive.

The 🇪🇺 continues to #StandWithBelarus and the many political prisoners, like Nobel peace prize winner Ales Bialiatski, who remain deprived of their freedom.

Wir denken an die über 1.100 politischen Gefangenen in #Belarus.
Mutige Menschen, die für Demokratie & Freiheit litten.
Jeder Tag in Folterkammern ist einer zu viel.
#FreeThemAll #WeStandBYyou #StandWithBelarus

Bei der Präsidentschaftswahl in #Belarus gingen 2020 Hunderttausende auf die Straße. Brutale Gewalt war Lukaschenka Antwort. Tausende wurden willkürlich verhaftet. Sie dürfen wir nicht vergessen. Freiheit für alle politischen Gefangenen dort.

In der Haft leidet Uladzimir unter massiven gesundheitlichen Problemen. Seine größte Sorge gilt seinen Kindern.
Seine Inhaftierung ist ein Angriff auf die gesamte belarusische Zivilgesellschaft.
