Close to seven thousand people have been detained in a police crackdown, that followed President Alexander Lukashenko’s disputed re-election. The EU commission chief Ursula Von der Leyen has said she supports sanctions on Belarusian officials who violated democratic values or abused human rights. The government in Belarus has begun releasing people detained during days of protests that followed President Lukashenko’s disputed re-election over the weekend. As some of the detainees were freed from custody, the Belarus interior minister issued an apology for injuries inflicted on demonstrators. This apparent concession comes as there’s growing pressure both at home and abroad – and as more disturbing reports emerged of abuse at the hands of security officials. For those whose loved ones remain missing, trust in the system has been shattered.

The EU does not care about a genocide in China, it is a pathetic and weak organization that can never stand up to anyone stronger than itself, it can only punch down. It's absolutely sickening.

Stay strong, Belarus people. God bless you!

What's so interesting is that Lukashenko hasn't used Covid-19 as an excuse to lock down millions of people, take away their ability to make a living, force them to wear masks, or turn people against each other over trivialities like that.
Please help, guys:((( help Belarus people
I know this is superfluous, but I'm seen belorusian guys are very handsome hahaha
My God this is torture this man needs to be incarcerated In to international criminal court.
Call UN to take actions against Lachenko, by sending him in to EU international criminal court to judge him for murder, and assault.

Based on 2018 data, GDP of Belarus was $6300 per capita, GDP of Ukraine was $3100 per capita. Go ahead comrades, make it like in Ukraine!
Belarusians are going to be the new cheap labour on Polish kitchens after Ukrainians. Go ahead, comrades! Слава красно-белому флагу!
Seems much less harm comparing yellow jackets
This is really sad. How are we treating people?
