600 days without any news from Maria Kalesnikava. She’s been held incommunicado by Belarus' regime since February 2023. Maria Kalesnikava is in critical health, denied medical care and contact with her family. We don’t even know if she’s alive. #sosMaria

Trump, overnight: “If Kamala wins, you are 3 days away from the start of a 1929-style economic depression.” What has happened since the last time he predicted a depression if a Democrat won:

Another tragic loss for Belarus: a courageous 25-year-old military volunteer, known by the nickname "Gaz," fighting for Ukraine in the International Legion, has given his life for freedom. His name has not been shared to avoid persecution of his family by the regime in Belarus.

Seeing this inhuman treatment of unjustly repressed Belarusians, we can clearly say that Lukashenka's prisons are brutal torture chambers. There are over 1,300 political prisoners in Belarus. All those repressed by the regime must be released immediately. #StandWithBelarus

Really looking forward to this talk! The Trouble Club platforms only women speakers, challenging the long tradition of silencing female voices. We’ll be discussing war, Ukraine, and much more. In-person tickets are already sold out, but you can still join online. Link below.

Two years ago, Belarusian-🇵🇱 journalist Andrzej Poczobut was sentenced to 8 years in prison by the regime's sham court—Lukashenka’s personal act of revenge for his courage & activism. The regime shamelessly takes national minorities hostage to pressure our democratic neighbors.

Katsiaryna Andreeva is one of the bravest women in Belarus. She was jailed simply for doing her job as a journalist. Today, Palina Sharenda-Panasiuk revealed that Katsiaryna was brutally beaten behind bars. It breaks my heart to think of the cruelty she endures every day.

The absurdity of repression in Belarus knows no limits. Natallia Ladutska became a political prisoner and has just been sentenced to 4 years for... helping political prisoners. The price of solidarity with repressed Belarusians inside the country is unbelievably high.

Appalling. Lukashenka's regime will put 78 y.o. Nina Bahinskaya, an icon of Belarus' protest, on trial on May 30. She has already endured administrative punishments, big fines, forced psychiatric examination – all for proudly wearing national symbols & standing up for freedom.
