  • Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “It has been two years since Raman Bandarenka died”

    November 12, 2022

    Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “It has been two years since Raman Bandarenka died. He only went out into the yard of the house he lived in to ask strangers why they were cutting ribbons off the fence. He never made it back to his apartment that night.

    Raman's death has still not been investigated by official bodies cynically calling themselves law enforcement. Those responsible for his death are still at large. The regime pretends that nothing terrible ever happened. But we, Belarusans, do remember everything.

    We remember Raman and all our heroes. We will never forget the injustice and pain. And we will never stop until those responsible for the murders, beatings and torture of peaceful and free Belarusians are brought to justice.

    I remember how on this day two years ago I couldn't find the words to speak about the tragedy. I couldn't find words to support Raman's mother because I knew no words would be enough. Today they're still not enough, but that doesn't mean we'll stay silent”.
