Former political prisoners talk about the women's colony, the importance of solidarity and the belief in the inevitability of democratic changes in Belarus.

The decision to attempt a pardon for political detainees occurred against the backdrop of prolonged protests and international pressure on the regime. Is this an attempt to reduce tension in society and show a willingness to engage in dialogue with opponents? A new strategy of the bloody ruler? And how will this affect political prisoners?

Starting today, Advakatby_bot – an automated service in Telegram for consulting victims of repression – is now operational.

Only 1% of those currently in prison have been pardoned. The repressive machine continues to devour more and more victims. Who is the regime targeting now? Who is being detained on political charges?
