On November 27, the Day of Solidarity with Political Prisoners of Belarus, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya calls on foreign leaders, activists, journalists and all friends of Belarus to support Belarusian political prisoners: go to a rally or picket, make a statement, wear white-red-white clothes or remind others about Belarusian national symbols, send letters to political prisoners or hold an online flashmob, according to the politician’s website.
«Tell us about the courage of Belarusians. Let’s show the people who suffer from the actions of the Belarusian regime that the world community supports them. It supports protest leaders Maryia Kalesnikava and Maksim Znak, who continue to dance and smile in the courtroom. Brave journalists Katsiaryna Andreyeva and Darya Chultsova. Unbroken bloggers Ihar Losik and Siarhei Tsikhanouski. A man of spirit Mikita Zalatarou, who is not even 18 years old. Andrzej Poczobut, Volha Zalatar, Natallia Hersche – all innocently imprisoned Belarusians»,– Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya said.
