In Lviv, Belarusians and Ukrainians expressed solidarity with journalists imprisoned by Lukashenka
Responding to the Belarusian Association of Journalists’ call to action, participants of the Astrozhskis Belarusian-Ukrainian Expert Forum media panel concluded the event by demonstrating solidarity with the imprisoned media workers.
Famous personalities like Vitaly Portnikov, Yevhen Mahda, Yury Kmits, and others participated in the solidarity action.
Currently, there are 33 journalists imprisoned in Belarus.
BAJ began a solidarity marathon in Vilnius on May 3, and now 16 countries have organized support actions for them.
BAJ calls on journalists around the world to support the solidarity action! You can print portraits of imprisoned Belarusian media workers, take pictures with them in outstanding places in your city (outside Belarus) and post them on social media using the hashtags #СвабодуЖурналістам and #BecauseTheJournalist. Don’t forget to send them to office@baj.media or intercomm@baj.media.
