“Dear Members of the UN Security Council,
I would like to thank the organizers of this discussion on media freedom in Belarus.
Since September, the situation in Belarus has not improved. It has only worsened.
The protest against the fraudulent election in Belarus has been expressly peaceful. However, the regime responded with violence. Free media has helped to shed light on what is happening – unlawful detentions, torture, and murder of peaceful protesters. And this made the media a target for Lukashenka’s repression machine.
In 2020, according to the Belarusian Association of Journalists, independent journalists were detained over 470 times, 97 journalists served administrative arrests, 50 media websites were blocked and 15 journalists are currently facing false criminal charges".
