As a consequence of the repressive actions taken after the rigged elections by Alyaksandr Lukashenka, tens of thousands of individuals were arrested, and, to this day, 1,500 people are serving long-term sentences. Thirteen of these individuals had previously worked with Belsat, which amounts to one-third of all media workers currently imprisoned in Belarus. Many individuals cooperated with Belsat. Now that the convicts have been sentenced and sent to penal colonies, it’s time to appeal for the world’s reaction regarding Belsat’s imprisoned collaborators. These courageous individuals have carried out the mission of independent journalism despite the threat of arrest. They didn’t leave the country and continued their work diligently.
