Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya has addressed Belarusians on the Day of Solidarity with Political Prisoners. She stressed that behind every name on the list of political prisoners is a person, a family, lost health, years of life, and the pain of waiting. She also spoke about the conditions endured by people in detention and noted that, even after release, persecution often does not end.
“There should not be a single political prisoner in Belarus. Not one. Over these years, we have almost become accustomed to hundreds of names on the list of political prisoners, daily detentions, and reports of torture, as though this were a new normal. But this is not normal. It must not become normal”.
