Distro - Silence and Struggle in Belarus 

Nanna Heitmann 

Three years have passed since Belarusian President Lukashenko claimed his highly disputed victory, yet the violent oppression of dissents has continued. Criminalizing the past and extending suppression into the future, even the smallest perceived violations linked to the 2020 protests could result in imprisonment. As security measures become increasingly invasive and the nation's leader solidifies his role as a vital military partner to neighboring Russia, numerous Belarusians who remain in the country are actively devising exit strategies, or preparing for the worst.
