A march took place in Warsaw against the sham election in Belarus. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya walked through the city streets together with other Belarusians before delivering a speech. She emphasized the unwavering determination of the Belarusian people in their fight for freedom and called for unity.
“What is happening in Belarus today has been called many names – farce, comedy, special operation.
I believe one of the most fitting descriptions is mockery. A mockery of the electoral process and the very idea of an election. A mockery of the Belarusian people and the international community.
We already said a firm ‘no’ to him four years ago. And today, in response to his sham charade, we can only repeat it.
As long as we are united, we can overcome anything. We are all Belarusians. We will not lose heart. We will reclaim our country and return home.
Long Live Belarus!”
During Ms. Tsikhanouskaya’s speech, march participants observed a moment of silence to honor all Belarusian volunteer fighters who were killed by Russia in Ukraine and political prisoners who lost their lives at the hands of the regime in Belarus.
