On #IWD2025, we remember the 150 female political prisoners in #Belarus. We demand urgent release of all political prisoners. #InternationalWomensDay #FreeBelarus #FreeThemAll Photo: праект «Хуткая гуманітарная дапамога»

8/8 We welcome the release of all persons imprisoned for political reasons, regardless of the reasons for such release. We firmly believe that, beyond ending unjust imprisonment, such actions help alleviate suffering and, in some cases, even save lives.

7/7 We continue to call for an uncompromising fight against impunity for crimes against humanity and other serious and widespread human rights violations, strengthening the relevant mechanisms and institutions at the global, regional, and national levels.

1/8 On the anniversary of the sentencing of @viasna96 human rights defenders, including the @NobelPrize laureate, the Belarusian human rights community reaffirms its call for the unconditional release and rehabilitation of all political prisoners.

#HAPPYHOLIDAYS We wish you joy, warmth, and wonderful moments with your loved ones. May the force be with you, and may 2025 bring dignity, hope, and respect for human rights to everyone in Belarus and all over the world.

The #DeathPenalty should be abolished - anywhere, anytime & always. Almost three quarters of all countries have already abolished it in law or in practice. We continue to work against #CapitalPunishment on this #WorldDayAgainstTheDeathPenalty and on every other day of the year.
