Lukashenka's self-appointment as head of his fake people's assembly makes his regime resemble Stalin's dictatorship. Adding another title is a desperate attempt to regain the legitimacy he first lost in 2020 & again in 2022, when he backed Russia's criminal aggression against 🇺🇦.

A good day for the world indeed! Strong global leadership from 🇺🇸 as the vital aid package for 🇺🇦 was approved in the Senate & signed by President Biden. This sends an important message to the democratic world that the 🇺🇸 stands with 🇺🇦, delivering a strong blow to Putin & Lukashenka.

The 🇺🇸 2023 Human Rights Report on #Belarus reads like a catalog of horrors; torture, life-threatening prison conditions, punishment of family members, violence against journalists, forced labor—the list goes on. The regime must be held accountable.

Thank you 🇩🇪 GermanForeignOffice for this wonderful action of solidarity with political prisoners in #Belarus !

Just like the fake elections orchestrated by the criminal regime in #Belarus , the assembly convened today has nothing to do with democracy. It’s merely a facade set up to legitimize Lukashenka's tyranny. None of the participants represent our people. Don’t be fooled by this sham!

April 24 is Maria Kalesnikava's birthday. The birthday of our Masha, whose radiant smile has become a source of support for Belarusians & a symbol of resilience for the world. If the regime is ‘not at war against women’, then how come it is the fourth year already that Masha

Europe’s fate is now being decided in #Ukraine & #Belarus but also in #Moldova , #Georgia & #Armenia . We must stand together for our freedom & for the freedom of Europe. Glad to discuss the current situation with Parliament Speakers of 🇦🇲 Alen Simonyan & 🇲🇩Igor Grosu at #EUSC .

Grateful for a productive meeting with Marshal of the Sejm Szymon Hołownia. We focused on supporting civil society, free media & providing direct aid to Belarusians both inside the country & in 🇵🇱. I am thankful to 🇵🇱 for standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us through everything.

Pleased to meet 🇮🇹 Chamber of Deputies President Lorenzo Fontana for the 1st time on the margins of #EUSC . I thanked him for 🇮🇹's firm support. We discussed hosting the next Alliance meeting of 'Groups for Democratic Belarus' in #Rome , as 🇮🇹's group is the largest at 63 members.

Inspired by strong female leaders like Urška Klakočar Zupančič, President of the 🇸🇮 National Assembly. We discussed creating a parliamentary 'Group of Friends of Democratic Belarus' & 🇸🇮's support at the #UNSC . Our talk also focused on how to elevate women’s roles in politics.

Muchísimas gracias, Congreso President Francina Armengol, for inviting me to address speakers of 37 parliaments at #EUSC . Spain shows true leadership in supporting democratic #Belarus . In our meeting, we discussed creating a Friends of Democratic Belarus group in the 🇪🇸 Parliament.

We cannot ignore the plight of political prisoners in #Belarus , many of whom suffer from severe medical issues like cancer or heart disease, conditions that worsen in confinement. At least 5 have already died & without urgent action, more are at risk.

Europe's very fate is being decided in #Ukraine & #Belarus , as we stand on the frontline in the fight between democracy & tyranny. The future for us is in Europe as free nations. We must stand together to defend freedom. Dictators will not stop unless we unite to stop them. #EUSC

I'm excited to address parliament speakers from 🇪🇺🇮🇪🇳🇴🇫🇮🇳🇱🇧🇪🇸🇮🇫🇷🇨🇿🇭🇺🇸🇪🇵🇱🇨🇾🇱🇹🇩🇪🇲🇩🇬🇷🇱🇻🇩🇰🇦🇱🇲🇹🇲🇪🇪🇪🇷🇸🇮🇹 🇦🇹🇱🇺🇵🇹🇸🇰🇮🇸🇳🇴🇦🇲🇱🇮🇨🇦🇨🇭🇬🇧 at the #EUSC in 🇪🇸. Democratic #Belarus ' participation marks a historic step towards inclusion on European national parliaments' agendas.

I wish all Jewish communities around the world a happy #Passover . Today, we are reminded of the immense resilience of the human spirit against tyranny & terror.

May the Israeli families of those still held hostage soon be reunited with their loved ones.

Chag Pesach Sameach!

Who's pulling the strings? Here's the latest NGO marked for liquidation by the #Belarus regime—the Belarusian Center of the International Puppetry Association UNIMA. Because obviously, the regime's so-called courts can't have any competition when it comes to puppet theatre.

Proud to see Belarusians continuing to defy the regime. Although protests may not be visible on our streets anymore, the active resistance persists underground. Despite the regime's attempts to intimidate us with terror & repression, they have not broken the spirit of our people.

Congratulations to Maria Tamkovich! Her feature film 'Under the Grey Sky,' inspired by journalist Katsiaryna Andreeva's fight for truth in #Belarus , has been selected to compete at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival. Thank you for bringing this important story to the world.

I applaud the principled & strong stance of the 🇺🇸 House of Representatives. Today's approval of the vital aid package for 🇺🇦 sends a historic message of solidarity to Ukrainians & freedom fighters worldwide. It also stands as a clear warning to dictators like Putin & Lukashenka.

Every single day, I think about my husband. The regime has now announced a new trial against Siarhei. Another round of false accusations as the entire justice system has been turned into a machine of repression. They seek to crush our spirit & resolve. But they'll never succeed!
