Help for Victims of Repression
Contact Persons
Since 2009, we have been working with local partners to promote human rights in Belarus. We are one of the few NGOs providing comprehensive support to current and former political prisoners. We also work with politicians to improve the human rights situation in Belarus through the #WeStandBYyou godparenthood campaign. We organise special actions and continue to call on the Belarusian authorities to release all political prisoners immediately and unconditionally.
Ongoing Projects
Support for Victims of Politically Motivated Violence
LIBERECO is committed to the psychological and physical rehabilitation of victims of state violence in Belarus. Through humanitarian and psychosocial assistance, it promotes the long-term health of those affected.
How You Can Support Political Prisoners
There are currently over a 1.200 political prisoners being held in Belarus. Among them are men and women of all ages, including workers, journalists, businesspeople, and doctors. They have been sentenced to years in prison simply for exercising their fundamental right to freedom of expression and assembly.
Support Political Prisoners by Becoming a Godparent
Exactly one month before the 9 August 2020 presidential elections in Belarus, LIBERECO launched the #WeStandBYyou solidarity campaign in July 2020. As part of this campaign, members of European parliaments are acting as godparents for political prisoners in the neighbouring EU country.
