Despite living in a society where dissidents and citizens disappearing or murdered is a norm, many have been taking to the streets and going on strike to protest police brutality in the day, and fighting dictatorship in the night. https://twitter.com/franakviacorka/status/1293838657619623938?s=21">https://twitter.com/franakvia...
Their government have also been cutting off their internet at night to disrupt efforts to organise. https://twitter.com/mortis_banned/status/1293423292586631168?s=21">https://twitter.com/mortis_ba...
(I’m not including photos or videos of the nightly clashes in this thread, to be mindful of the mental health of mutuals who have already been exposed to too much violent imagery (in person or through media) via the Hong Kong protests this past year.)
How do I help?
1) A lot of info are transmitted out with difficulty through TG channels, and journalists are risking their lives to report on the ground so signalboosting and retweeting with the hashtags #ЖывеБелорусь #Belarus is one way to help. https://twitter.com/franakviacorka/status/1293855135551160320?s=21">https://twitter.com/franakvia...
