Belarus, a dying dictatorship

This Sunday 7 March at 8 pm, we welcome at #FIFDH21 an exclusive debate on “Belarus, a dying dictatorship?“, in the presence, among others, of the figurehead of the Belarusian opposition, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya! Since 9 August and the proclamation of the results of the elections that allegedly gave Alexander Lukashenko 80% of the votes, Belarusians have been taking to the streets.

Co-presented with the Federal department of foreign affairs (DFAE), the World Organisation Against Torture, Amnesty International, the Delegation of the European Union to the UN and other international organisations in Geneva and the Right Livelihood. Speakers: PART I: • Svetlana Tikhanovskaïa, leading Belarusian opposition figure, candidate in the presidential election 2020 • Ales Bialiatski, Belarusian writer and political activist • Gerald Staberock, secretary General of the World Organization Agai
