“Since the fraudulent presidential election of August 9, Belarusians have demanded democracy and freedom, staying persistent and courageous in spite of the regime’s lawlessness. While the ruthless dictatorship resorted to unmatched violence, the protest has been peaceful and resourceful revealing the vast creative potential of Belarusians,” the statement reads.
