On Constitution Day, employees of “A Country to Live in” foundation held an action at the Embassy of the Republic of Belarus in Vilnius, timed to coincide with the 27th anniversary of adopting the country's Basic Law.
The main goal is to draw attention to the catastrophic situation by implementing the Constitution's articles in Belarus. Unfortunately, most of the Basic Law provisions in our country are of less value than the paper on which they are printed.
We took our national symbols with us, prepared posters with articles from the Constitution currently not being implemented. Not some minor but fundamental rights of Belarusians are infringed upon. Such as:

With a picket near the Belarusian Embassy in Vilnius, we want to draw attention to the catastrophic human rights situation in our country and also to remind that the citizens of Belarus have the power to change everything. Let us be in solidarity and achieve that we will live in a real country to live in!

- The right to life (compare with the killings of civilians by the armed forces and the lack of any investigation into these cases)
- Prohibition of torture (compare with the treatment of Belarusian citizens in police vehicles or isolation wards)
- Prohibition of slavery and forced labor (compare with the so-called parasitism decree)
- The right to liberty and security of person (compare with the requirement to unlock the phone before the threat of being in isolation and being beaten)
- The prohibition of interference with personal and family life, the inviolability of the home, the secrecy of correspondence, and protection from illegal attacks on honor and reputation (compare with the invasion of a person's home because of a flag hanging on the balcony)
- Prohibition of interference with personal and family life, inviolability of the home, the privacy of correspondence, and protection from illegal attacks on honor and reputation (compare with the invasion of a person's apartment because of a flag hanging on the balcony);
- Freedom of speech (compare with the closure and revocation of non-state media accreditation, ban on distribution).
