Belarus’ civil society will hold a campaign in support of victims of torture

June 19, 2023

Thousands of Belarusian men and women have faced torture in the three years after 2020 alone. We remember that and must not remain silent.

Therefore, the Legal Initiative NGO, in partnership with the International Committee for Investigation of Torture in Belarus, will hold thematic events in Warsaw, Vilnius and Poznan aimed at showing the unacceptability of torture. There will also be online events. See the full list (in Belarusian) at the link.

The campaign is timed to the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture on June 26.
