Today is the International Day of Solidarity with Political Prisoners in Belarus. People are arrested every day for political reasons, incl. human rights activists and journalists. We remember them all and keep supporting the work of the democratic forces and Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.

Indigenous Persons with Disabilities face layered barriers. Data gaps, lack of inclusion, and limited protections persist. Ambassador for Human Rights to Finland, Katja Pehrman called for “actionable commitments grounded in respect, reciprocity, and justice.”
