Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya addressed Belarusians during her speech before the Coordination Council:
“I can only imagine how difficult it must be to continue your activities against the backdrop of terror. How difficult it is to wake up every morning expecting a visit from GUBAZiK [security forces]. But I ask you not to give up. Use this time for self-development. There are many opportunities for self-education. Find safe ways to express your disagreement. Look for like-minded people. Keep up the fighting spirit”.
