Human Rights in Belarus
A Report by the Civil Rights Organization Viasna, June 2025
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
The human rights situation in Belarus remains catastrophic. Even five years after the 2020 protests, participants in the demonstrations are still being persecuted, as are participants in new protest initiatives, dissidents, journalists, civil rights activists, and lawyers. The authorities are concealing the extent of the repression. However, the Human Rights Centre Viasna regularly receives information about arrests and other forms of politically motivated state persecution.
