Starting this week, we will introduce you to our Foundation's team - people who give all their strength to the struggle for the freedom of Belarusians. Today we will tell you about Olga Zazulinskaya.
Despite repressions and persecutions, many Belarusians want to help and show solidarity with the captured heroes. We have compiled a practical guide to helping political prisoners: choose the option that is most convenient for you and go for it!
Supporting political prisoners and their family members is detailed work, but this is the only way to solidarize with people in prison. In addition, regular payment is a convenient option for those who can help on an ongoing basis.
Maxim Maximov lived in Mogilev and was not interested in politics until August 2020. On election day, he was tortured in Okrestin Street, and after his release, he was forced to leave Belarus urgently.
The coordinator of the volunteer service of the "Viasna" human rights center, Marfa Rabkova, has been in detention for almost 7 months. She was arrested on September 17th. At first, she was accused of teaching or otherwise preparing people to participate in riots or financing such activities. In February, Marfa was presented with new charges - incitement of social hostility to the authorities by a group of unidentified persons and participation in a criminal organization. Now Marfa Rabkova faces up to 12 years in prison. We talked to her husband - Vadim Zheromsky.
We are continuing the project "Let's back to the legal track." Marina Nikandrina, a lawyer from "A Country to Live in" foundation, talks about a widespread problem in modern Belarus - salary delays, what to do for those faced with this phenomenon, and how to avoid payment of finished products.
