Belarusians of Warsaw 🤍❤️🤍 held a solidarity action this weekend in support of the imprisoned @viasna96 team. Human rights defenders Marfa Rabkova, Valiantsin Stefanovich, Uladzimir Labkovich, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski remain behind bars for their work.
“Belarus can be a success story for President Trump,” @Tsihanouskaya said. “[A] free, independent Belarus is in the interest of the USA as well.” politico.com/news/magazine/…
Belarusian-American partnership for freedom, peace and prosperity 🇺🇸 🤝 ⚪️🔴⚪️
Productive & warm consultations at the @WhiteHouse w/ Andy Baker — DNSA to @POTUS & NSA to @VP. It marked the highest-level ⚪️🔴⚪️ meeting at the WH since @realDonaldTrump election. On behalf of @Tsihanouskaya I thanked 🇺🇸 for the support & discussed next steps for free #Belarus.
Dear @Tsihanouskaya, thank you for this inspiring exchange. You and the people of Belarus can count on our continued 🇪🇺 support to work with you towards a free and democratic Belarus. #FreeBelarus #StandWithBelarus
It was a moment of unbelievable hope – three women uniting political forces to challenge the dictator in Belarus 5 years ago 🤍❤️🤍 We still carry that energy today, fighting for a bright future for our country, for the freedom of Maryia Kalasnikava and all political prisoners.
In Belarus, love for state symbols is no longer optional. Lukashenka's regime passed a law requiring children to “respect state symbols” and “preserve the historical memory of the heroic past of the Belarusian people” – trying to brainwash the new generation of Belarusians.

Meeting at the Airport! What a great coincidence! @Tsihanouskaya Great to see you!
At @NATO’s Rose-Roth Seminar, @Tsihanouskaya stressed that 1,150 political prisoners remain jailed in Belarus. "All these years, I carried the folder with the portrait of my husband. Now, I bring the photo of Ales Bialiatski, Nobel Peace Prize laureate & human rights defender".
Even in exile, Belarusians keep building—with love, unity, and hope. This weekend, 5,000+ gathered at the Tutaka Festival in Poland to share ideas, strengthen our culture, and discuss the future of Belarus. I'm glad my husband @tsikhanouski_s could join for the 1st time. 🤍❤️🤍
Got a hard copy of today’s The Sunday Times @thetimes to read the interview with Sviatlana @Tsihanouskaya and Siarhei @tsikhanouski_s in the paper version:
One of the UAVs attacking Ukraine crashed in Lithuania — details Today at around 11:40 Lithuanian time, a Russian Gerbera drone (without a warhead; analogue of Shahed, often used by the Russian military as a decoy to deplete air defense systems) crashed on the territory of…
Taking symbolic godparenthood over political prisoners in Belarus is an important step in solidarity with the repressed. We appreciate that so many MPs join the @LiberecoPHR program. #StandWithBelarus
The world was watching when Siarhei Tsikhanouski was released from prison last month and was reunited with his wife @Tsihanouskaya But more than 1,000 political prisoners remain behind bars in Belarus. Amongst them is Dzmitry Kuchuk, the former chair of the Belarusian Green Party
Yesterday, together with @tsikhanouski_s, we held a closed briefing for ambassadors and diplomats from 🇦🇲🇨🇦🇭🇷🇨🇿🇩🇰🇪🇪🇫🇮🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇮🇱🇰🇷🇱🇻🇱🇹🇳🇱🇳🇴🇵🇱🇷🇴🇪🇸🇸🇪🇬🇧🇺🇸 and 🇪🇺 at the Embassy of Denmark in Vilnius. We discussed the next steps to free all political prisoners, the intensifying…
Few understand the great power implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and absorption of Belarus better than Belarusian opposition leader @Tsihanouskaya - thank you for diving into “The Return of Great Powers”!
Strong and emotional moments today when recently released Belarusian political prisoner @tsikhanouski_s and his wife, opposition leader @Tsihanouskaya, met with the diplomatic corps at the 🇩🇰 Embassy. “My release strengthens the opposition” said Tsikhanouski. #StrongerTogether
The regime’s Supreme Court has declared the United Transitional @CabinetBelarus, led by @Tsihanouskaya, a “terrorist organization”. Lukashenka sees any pro-democracy force as a threat to his dictatorship. But that won’t stop Belarusians from bringing freedom to our country.
Thankful to 🇱🇹 Minister of Interior Vladislav Kondratovič for a warm meeting & reaffirming support for Belarusians. Lithuania has been taking vital steps to help our diaspora. We discussed residence permit issues, and I proposed creating a working group to promptly address them.
No free Europe without free Belarus! Thank you, @Europarl_EN and @RobertBiedron
Nie ma wolnej Europy bez wolnej Białorusi! 🤍❤️🤍
Together with my husband @tsikhanouski_s, I joined the reception marking 🇱🇹 Statehood Day. I was honored to personally thank 🇱🇹 President @GitanasNauseda and 🇩🇪 President Frank-Walter Steinmeier for their unwavering support for Belarusians. Ačiū, Lietuva! Danke, Deutschland!
After five years apart, our family is finally reunited—but more than 1,100 political prisoners remain behind bars in Belarus. In 🇮🇹 @ilfoglio_it, I write together with my husband @tsikhanouski_s about our fight to free all of the regime’s hostages. foglioeuropeo.ilfoglio.it/en/after-five-…
