Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “News about yet another round of detentions at the border is a further reminder of how dangerous returning to Belarus remains. The regime continues to detain people, check their phones, draw up reports, and place them in temporary detention facilities. Some Belarusians, after such detentions, serve administrative arrest or face criminal charges. All these cases demonstrate that the regime continues to apply repression on a large and unpredictable scale.
If you are considering a trip to Belarus, please assess all the risks very carefully. Remember that even a short visit can be dangerous. If you have even the slightest doubts about the safety of the trip, consult human rights defenders, clarify the situation, and do not take unnecessary risks.
Take care of yourselves, dear friends”.
