One of us. Dmitry Ivashkov

We continue to talk about our brave colleagues who decided to go all the way - for freedom for all Belarusians. Now, these people are prisoners, but any of us could have been in their place.

Dmitry Ivashkov, 40 years old:
  • Member of the initiative group of Svetlana Tikhanovskaya
  • Married, had a son
  • Graduated from the Belarusian State University of Transport
  • He was first beaten and detained on August 6, before the primary voting day.
  • Sentenced to 6 years in prison
Dmitry Ivashkov is an ordinary Belarus, of which there are millions. One day in 2020, he decided that his voice was important and could change everything. In the spring of last year, he joined the team of Sergei Tikhanovsky. Later he collected signatures for Svetlana Tikhanovskaya.

The regime considered the ordinary Belarusian Dmitry Ivashkov extremely dangerous. What else to explain the brutal detention and beating on August 6, before the primary voting day. He was arrested for 15 days. After his release, he was hiding from the authorities.

On September 27, Dmitry Ivashkov was arrested for the second time at the Protest March in Gomel. Since then, he has not been released.

On May 4, “judge” Aleksey Khlyshchenkov, who imagined himself to be the arbiter of destinies, but had no opinion of his own, a pawn, pronounced a verdict: 6 years in a maximum-security colony for participating in “mass riots” and “seizure of buildings.”

In 2020, millions of Belarusians, not only Dmitry Ivashkov, opened their eyes. We woke up and realized that it is essential that our voices should be heard. It is unlikely that you learned this "judge" Khlyshchenkov. Nevertheless, you have made your choice, and the Belarusian people will assess your actions.

Friends, please write to Dmitry Ivashkov right now.
