On March 11-14, the European Parliament is holding a solidarity campaign with Belarusian political prisoners. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya’s Advisor on Parliamentary Cooperation and Constitutional Reform, Anatoli Liabedzka, was present during the solidarity action on March 13. The politician reported that within the framework of the #EPSTANDSBYYOU initiative, MEPs, including the EP President, Roberta Metsola, have already signed more than 600 postcards for Belarusian political prisoners. In addition, MEPs raise awareness of the dire situation with political prisoners in Belarus and share information about it on social media with the hashtag #EPSTANDSBYYOU.
This is the second campaign of the initiative. The first one was held in December 2022.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “The new launch of this initiative is the result of my recent meeting with Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament. I am grateful to Roberta and the members of the European Parliament for supporting this idea. I am convinced that #EPSTANDSBYYOU will encourage politicians all over Europe to join the fight for the freedom of Belarusian political prisoners!”
