RMN Foundation Appeals for the Release of Political Prisoners in Belarus
As the attacks on human rights activists continue to escalate in Belarus, hundreds of political prisoners have been languishing in jails. RMN Foundation appeals to the despotic Belarusian regime to release all political prisoners immediately.
The Human Rights Center “Viasna” reports that by the end of 2022, there were 1,446 political prisoners in Belarus while 889 people were recognized as political prisoners.
Viasna is a non-governmental human rights organization, formed in 1996 during mass protest actions of the democratic opposition in Belarus. In 2022, according to Viasna, arrests, torture, and criminal proceedings on political grounds against Belarusian activists continued.
