"A nation should not be a hostage to one man's thirst for power, and it won't. Belarusians have woken up. The point of no return has passed." - Sviatlana Tsikhanouska
Dear Global Citizens,
We respectfully request the Belarus Government to release all human rights activists and unjustly held political prisoners. In return we will be lenient towards the Lukashenko regime and grant them Amnesty if they cooperate.
Belarus has one of the worst human rights records in the world, verified by the NGO's Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Reporters Without Borders and The Guardian.
Having committed electoral fraud, Lukashenko is responsible for human rights violations in Belarus. Images of bloody injuries and videos of police attacking people with batons, rubber bullets, stun grenades, and water cannons flooded the airwaves after the sham election in Belarus on 9 August 2020.
More than 6,000 people were arrested over largely peaceful protests that followed Lukashenko’s fraudulent elections; countless protestors having been beaten and abused in prison.
As more prisoners are released, it has become clear that appalling conditions, abuse and torture have been widespread.
Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who was the true winner of the 2020 presidential elections, said that her country now needs to fight for democracy as well as against dictatorship.
Hence Lukashenko must be brought to Justice, to restore Freedom and Democracy in Belarus.
Since Putin's illegal war on Ukraine in 2022, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya has repeatedly warned the International Community: "Belarus must not be forgotten in the equation when trying to resolve the war in Ukraine."
The International Peacebuilding Alliance will handle policy in Belarus until Freedom, Democracy, Human Rights and the UN Charter have been restored, including an end to corruption and electoral fraud.
This includes restoring the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine and bringing Vladimir Putin to Justice, as stipulated by the International Criminal Court.
Love and Light дабраславі бог. Peace Profound.
