- Женщины России могут остановить эту бойню.

Путинский режим заберёт ваших мужей, детей, отцов, братьев, если вы это позволите сделать.

Как показывает практика народов Кавказа, протест - очень действенный способ остановить мобилизацию:

@TwitterSupport @Twitter hey guys reinstate @defmon3 - it's one of the most informative pro-ukraine OSINT accounts.

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

I believe Vaclav Havel was right when he insisted that Belarus belongs in the European family. We are proving it with our actions, I told tonight at @CharlesUniPRG. Right now as the new iron curtain falls, we should make sure that Belarus ends up on the right side of history.

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

In my today's statement, I announced that based on the power given to me by Belarusians in the 2020 presidential election, I'm taking on the responsibility to represent the Republic of Belarus & its' people, to stand up for the independence & national interests of my country.

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

No better time to sanction the regime in Belarus than now. This week they plan to change the Constitution to abolish our neutrality, remove the nuclear-weapon-free status. It's crucial to sanction state banks, potash & petrochemicals, close loopholes. "Later" can become too late.

Сongratulations to @AliakseiPaluyan for hitting the @TheAcademy Oscar’s Best Documentaries list! Courage is a deeply inspirational movie. It's been almost 1.5 years since the beginning of the protest. We won't give up. Belarusians keep fighting for freedom & justice every day.

@mchancecnn .@mchancecnn On the day the interview was published, 50+ people got detained, some of them forced to "confess" on camera. What do you think about it?

[Franak Viačorka @franakviacorka]

It’s hard to watch these confession videos. The body language and demeanor say it all. Reminds me of Pratasevich's "Testimony". After the shooting in Minsk, the regime started a true manhunt on those who think & speak differently. Stalinism is back.

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

One year ago, the regime had kidnapped our incredible Maria Kalesnikava & tried to expel her from Belarus. She tore up her passport to stop them. Yesterday, she was sentenced to 11 years in prison for her courage. We are working hard to release Maria & other polit. prisoners.

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

The regime sentenced Maria Kalesnikava & Maksim Znak to 11 & 10 years in prison. We demand the immediate release of Maria & Maksim, who aren't guilty of anything. It's terror against Belarusians who dare to stand up to the regime. We won't stop until everybody is free in Belarus.

[Franak Viačorka @franakviacorka]

I am proud of my friends Maria Kalesnikava & Maksim Znak. They got sentenced to 11 & 10 years in prison, but they are innocent & won’t stay so long in jail. This trial was a farce. The regime became a farce. People finally realized that the King Is Naked, & has nothing to offer.

@IMFNews IMF, stop supporting the dictatorship, plain and clear. Stand with the people of Belarus, who are demanding that the regime shouldn't access the SDR.

[CUBY - Creatives Unite Belarus & Worldwide ❤️ @CUBY_movement]

@SenMarkey . @SenMarkey we're adding our voice (@CUBY_movement) to the Belarusians' voices that are demanding blocking the IMF account access for the brutal Lukashenka's regime.
❗️

[CUBY - Creatives Unite Belarus & Worldwide ❤️ @CUBY_movement]

@SenatorRisch .@SenatorRisch, I'm adding my voice to the thousands of Belarusian voices demanding the hearing on the issue of IMF giving money to Lukashenka. Thank you. 🤍❤️🤍

[Pavel Latushka @PavelLatushka]

There is permanent repression of independent media in #Belarus all are detained , suppressed, tortured @IFJGlobal #freeBelarus ⚪️🔴⚪️

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

Thankful for the amazing opportunity to be on @Morning_Joe, @MSNBC, together with @SenatorShaheen. I spoke about the latest repressions in Belarus, incl. against free media. Such strong democracy as 🇺🇸 should stand up for Belarusians fighting for freedom. #StandWithBelarus

@AllisonTrans Dear @AllisonTrans, with agree with @BelarusiansDC that the business relationship with your partner MAZ should be reviewed due to constant violations of the basic human rights at MAZ and in broader context, in Belarus.

June 16, 2020, was a turning point for Belarusian politics. On this day Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, Maria Kalesnikava, & Veranika Tsepkalo united the presidential campaign headquarters. Belarusian women dared to challenge the dictator & keep inspiring the world with their courage.

Danila Hancharou, a former lighter designer of New Drama Theatre, was sentenced to 2 year in prison. He was charged under Art. 342 of the CC, "organization and preparation of actions that grossly violate public order"
