Nina Bahinskaja was fined many times for participation in unauthorized protests. Her summer house was even formally confiscated to pay all her fines. Nina Bahinskaja is also one of the participants of Women in White movement which emerged recently. She is always on the frontline.

Very proud of Lithuanians for their genuine unprecedented support to the people of #Belarus in their ongoing fight for democracy, justice and human dignity. At least 50.000 have joined the #FreedomWay in #Lithuania today.

[Franak Viačorka @franakviacorka]

More than 250K already at the Independence square in Minsk! It’s more than in 1990 when people protested for Independence.

Belarus will be free.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. What Lithuania is doing for us is just incredible. The song is one of Belarusian historic anthems

Board working hard to set priorities post 2020. We’ve been working 30 years for #alcohol prevention. Is it time to shift priorities? Are we effective? Interesting reflection process🤔@karivuorinen10 @Actis

[NTAKK @_NTAKK_]

We have total ban of alcohol advertisement here in Lithuania with no exemptions to sports. Comprehensive #alcoholpolicies is what we need. We have been waiting too long for sport organizations to take responsibility on this matter.

This study is the first opportunity to look at which groups are most affected by MUP. Shows that impact on sales is on 20% heaviest purchasers. Important early indication that, as modelling predicted, MUP has targeted effect on those most at risk of harm https://t.co/spvFeWW79Q

Statement from @AurelijusVeryga Lithuanian Health Minister advocating implementation of Best Buys (pricing, marketing, availability) to reduce alcohol harm. Netherlands also highlighting importance of alcohol as a factor in NCDs. #RC69CPH
