President
Belarusian journalist Kseniya Lutskina was arrested in 2020 after joining the protests against election fraud and repression. She was later sentenced to eight years in prison for helping to establish independent media. In her blog, she writes about the bad medical situation in pre-trial detention.

Journalist, former political prisoner
2025 marks the 5th anniversary of our international campaign for political prisoners in Belarus. Over the past years, #WeStandBYyou has developed from an emergency solidarity initiative into an international advocacy movement.
