On December 27, the criminal case against surgeon Liliya Kachan will begin. She is charged with participating in mass protests and calling for sanctions. Liliya Kachan is an experienced doctor with over 17 years of practice.

The court hearing for A. Kurlovich, head of the Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Department at Rechitsa Central District Hospital, is set for November 19. He is charged under Part 2 of Article 19.11. «Gomel Spring» describes him as one of the most skilled doctors in the area.

Anesthesiologist Vladimir Martov was detained near St. Petersburg. Vladimir openly spoke about how the Belarusian authorities were concealing mortality statistics related to the coronavirus. In 2022, he left Belarus due to the repressions.

From today, the Belarusian Medical Solidarity Foundation is adding to the list of «extremist» materials in Belarus.

Belarusians, thanks to petitions on @petitions_by, have succeeded in persuading the Ministry of Health to remove unscientific articles about telegony from the official websites of Belarusian hospitals.

Proud of @bymedsol who's delivered medical supplies to ZSU for 20+ months. Belarusians are supporting Ukraine in its just war against Russian aggression in a variety of ways: fighting, disrupting, advocating, volunteering, donating, gathering intel, countering malign propaganda.

I want to applaud the remarkable efforts of @bymedsol over recent months, supporting Ukraine with vital medical supplies for the 🇺🇦 Armed Forces & Belarusian volunteers, humanitarian aid & essential equipment deliveries to hospitals. Proud to see Belarusians standing with 🇺🇦!

PLEASE SHARE! On the anniversary of the elections of August 9, 2020, we are calling on Belarusians & the entire world community to join the International Day of Solidarity with #Belarus & to show your support. 🤍❤️🤍 August 9, 2020 is one of the most important days in the modern history of our country. It was on this day that Belarusians made their choice & said a loud "no" to Lukashenka, dictatorship, violence & lies. We chose freedom, democracy, the rule of law & peace. We chose the European future over Russian domination. It was this day that united hundreds of thousands of Belarusians & it is this election that continues to unite us all to this day. August 9 is an occasion to remember what we are fighting for, who we are, what country we want to live in & what we want to be. It is a day of unity, solidarity & struggle for freedom. The rigged elections of 2020 sparked an unprecedented wave of protest in Belarus that swept our country & led to a non-violent national uprising. These peaceful protests revealed the courage & dignity of ordinary Belarusians in the face of a brutal dictatorship. The regime, aided by Russia, responded with violence, detentions & torture. Today, there are more than 1,500 political prisoners - some have been in prison since 2020 under the most inhuman conditions - the regime has liquidated our civil society & free media. Almost every Belarusian family was affected by the wave of repression. Hundreds of thousands of Belarusians went into exile. The regime still detains dozens of Belarusians every day. They are trying to break the bonds of solidarity, spread fear & deprive us of hope. The regime blocks correspondence with political prisoners & denies lawyers access. There has been no news from Viktar Babaryka, Maryia Kalesnikava, Mikola Statkevich, Maksim Znak, Paval Sieviaryniets, Ihar Losik, Olga Maiorava & many others for a long time. Belarusians continue to die because of the regime, in the streets & in prisons. Here are some of the names we will never forget: Aliaksandar Taraikouski, Aliaksandar Vihor, Kanstantsin Shyshmakou, Hienadz Shutau, Mikita Kryutsou, Aliaksandar Budnitski, Stanislau Chur., Dzianis Kuzniatsou, Raman Bandarenka, Siarhei Shchatsinka, Alena Amelina, Vitold Ashurak, Dzmitry Stakhouski, Pavel Sibileu, Andrei Zeltsar, Dzmitry Uskhopau, Dzmitry Dudoits, Mikalai Klimovich, Ales Pushkin. In spite of the ongoing brutality, terror & repression, the struggle for freedom never stopped. As the regime became a threat to regional security by hijacking an international flight, instigating a migrant crisis & becoming a co-aggressor in the Russian aggression against Ukraine, Belarusians continue to resist the dictatorship. The danger only intensified with the deployment of nuclear weapons & Wagner mercenaries on our territory. Please remember: Belarus is NOT Russia. Lukashenka is NOT the president. The regime is NOT the people. Here are our key messages for the international community - please help to share them: ◾️We must increase the economic & political pressure on the Lukashenka regime & Russia. ◾️Lukashenka should face justice along with Putin & all their henchmen. ◾️We need increased support for Belarusian civil society, media & democratic forces in exile. ◾️We need a European perspective for Belarus. It belongs to the European family of nations. We have another ask: Make every day a Day of Solidarity with Belarus. Make sure that the people of Belarus are not forgotten. Please take action on August 9 & continue your action until our country is free. On the anniversary of the falsified election, August 9, we are counting on the world to send a clear signal of solidarity with the brave Belarusian people who are fighting for freedom. Here's how you can join the Day of Solidarity: ❤️Organize public, virtual, or offline events about Belarus, discussing possible solutions & what the international community can do.

Yesterday, the #COVID19 Emergency Committee met for the 15th time and recommended to me that I declare an end to the public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted that advice. With great hope I declare COVID-19 over as a global health emergency.

With 🇵🇱 Health Minister @a_niedzielski, we discussed how to simplify the rules for repressed medics who fled Belarus. Our doctors saw the evidence of torture & spoke out against tyranny. 795 Belarusian physicians already work in 🇵🇱, but many more still need help with relocation.

At the request of @Tsihanouskaya to @ABaerbock, Germany has provided Ukraine with a mobile hospital. It will be delivered in the next few days and we hope that will safe many lives. Special thx to @kavaleuski #Belarus #Germany #StandWithUkraine #ByMedSol

Glad that the field hospital for 🇺🇦 provided by 🇩🇪 and staffed with Belarusian medics was handed over today, as agreed upon between @ABaerbock and @Tsihanouskaya. Strong symbol of collaboration between 🇩🇪, 🇺🇦 and democratic #Belarus!
