In the speech of Iryna Kozikava, sister of Maksim Znak, the words resonated: “No correspondence, no visits, no phone calls, no lawyer,” reflecting the tragic reality for those who defend human rights in Belarus.

We demand an immediate end to repression against lawyers and the release of all political prisoners.

We call for an end to the harassment of lawyers in Belarus.

Lawyers Maksim Znak, Aliaksandr Danilevich, Anastasia Lazarenka, Vitaly Braginets, Yulia Yurgilevich, and Aliaksei Borodko have been unlawfully convicted for their legal activities and should be immediately released.

Today is Maksim Znak's birthday, a symbol of courage and resilience. On September 6, 2021, he was sentenced to 10 years for his human rights work. Maksim remains in prison, completely isolated since February 2023. Despite this, he continues to inspire with his unwavering spirit.

“Despite all the dictatorship’s repression, #Belarus lawyers have not given up. They are continuing to fight from exile. They deserve protection and support.”

Important thread on @hrw’s new report on Belarus today @robinwagener @GERonOstpolitik @GermanyDiplo

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

What can be done when a repressive state has completely taken over the legal profession, and you don’t have a chance of a fair trial with a defense lawyer who’s on your side?

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

Since the 2020 presidential elections in Belarus, over 140 lawyers have been disbarred or had their license arbitrarily revoked.

Embroidery about the lawyer Maksim Znak as part of the #framedinbelarus project! The embroidery tells the story of Maksim, who has been incommunicado for over a year!

[Belarusian Association of Human Rights Lawyers @BAHRLorg]

The goal of the #framedinbelarus project is to create portraits of all those unjustly convicted using traditional Belarusian embroidery techniques, with red thread on a white background, thereby capturing an important era in Belarusian history through folk patterns.
