On 4 of August, 2015 the International Day of Solidarity with the Civil Society is celebrated in Belarus for the fourth consecutive year.
In the last 20 years the situation of human rights in Belarus has not changed. Death penalty is still applied, people are persecuted and detained on political grounds, while the fundamental rights and freedoms are limited in the entire society. Nevertheless, the human rights defenders and activists continue to promote non-violence and human rights.
The action of solidarity with the civil society in Belarus is an opportunity to lend support and show that the activists for human rights are not alone, to talk to nationals of different countries about the reality in Belarus and to say in different languages that: “Solidarity is stronger than repression!”
Promo-LEX Association – member of the International Federation for Human Rights (International Federation for Human Rights / FIDH) – joins the actions carried out at the international level and urges the civil society in he Republic of Moldova, and also the ordinary people to send a message of support to the human rights activists in Belarus.
