New political prisoners have just been released. These people are being forcibly deported from the country, and they need help.
New political prisoners have just been released. This is joyful news, but also alarming, and it calls for maximum involvement.
After many years in prison, these people are being forcibly deported from their homeland. With shattered health and no means to survive. Without our help, life will be unbearably difficult for them.
Each released person will receive €1000 through BYSOL from the International Humanitarian Fund, but this amount is not enough to cover all the urgent needs.
That is why we are opening a fundraiser of €50,000 to support the political prisoners who have been released. We anticipate that many of them will be in difficult condition and that some will require urgent assistance.
We also believe that this wave of releases will not be the last. We expect the regime to continue releasing people, trying in part to overload the solidarity system that we have built together over the past five years. And this is a serious challenge for all of us!
We call on everyone: join our common cause and support those who have gone through Lukashenka’s prisons.
Our greatest strength is Belarusian solidarity. Our goal is that everyone whom the regime releases from prison feels that there is a community waiting for them and ready to support them.
We carry on, we protect our people!
The BYSOL fundraising team.
