Today is the Day of Solidarity with Political Prisoners in Belarus. Around 1 500 political prisoners are currently being detained. We stand in solidarity with all those being persecuted for political reasons by the Lukashenka regime. #FreeThemAll #WeStandByYou

Alarming @OSCE Moscow Mechanism report on Lukashenka’s Belarus⬇️
osce.org/odihr/543240
Brutal repression, non-existent freedom of media & expression, ~1500 political prisoners, torture and inhuman treatment.
Repression must stop and those responsible must be held accountable.
New @OSCE #MoscowMechanism report confirms human rights abuses in Belarus: increasing repression; nearly 1500 political prisoners; torture, inhuman and degrading treatment; arbitrary arrests. We urge Belarus to abide by its OSCE commitments and make use of the report.

Thirty-eight countries of the @OSCE have decided to invoke the Moscow Mechanism in light of the deteriorating human rights situation in Belarus. A fact-finding mission will investigate the human rights situation in the country, including the growing number of political prisoners.

The regime in Minsk will not succeed in suppressing the struggle for a democratic Belarus.
Sweden condemns the prison sentences handed down by a Minsk court – following a sham trial in absentia – to @Tsihanouskaya and others fighting for democracy and human rights in Belarus.

Sweden condemns today’s prison sentences following the show trials against #NobelPeacePrize laureate #AlesBialiatski and @Viasna96 colleagues.
The Lukashenka regime’s brutal repression must stop and all political prisoners must be unconditionally released.

🇸🇪 DefMin Peter Hultqvist & I discussed the situation on the #Lithuanian border with #Belarus. Hybrid attack against 🇱🇹 affects the security of the entire region. It is vital to exchange information so that other countries could respond effectively to Lukashenko's provocations.
