Journalists are not criminals! An action was held in the center of Malmö in support of Belarusian colleagues

Wednes­day 24 of May at lunch time – jour­nal­ists and writ­ers gath­er out­side the city coun­cil in cen­tral Malmö, Swe­den as part of Marathon of Sol­i­dar­i­ty

Thank BAJ through  Patreon

While show­ing the pho­tos of the 33 impris­oned BAJ mem­bers their names were read out loud, to show that they are remem­bered as indi­vid­u­als with a name, they are not anony­mous for us.

The man­i­fes­ta­tion end­ed with greet­ings and thanks from Andrei Bas­tunets that free­lance jour­nal­ist Åsa Ohls­son read.

And now the Marathon of Sol­i­dar­i­ty is passed on to Fin­land: A man­i­fes­ta­tion will take place on Fri­day 26^th of May at the Finnish Union con­gress. 

BAJ calls on col­leagues all over the world to sup­port the sol­i­dar­i­ty action!

You can print por­traits of impris­oned col­leagues, take pic­tures with them in rec­og­niz­able places of your city and pub­lish them on social media with the tags #СвабодуЖурналістам and #BecauseThe­Jour­nal­ist, and also send us to office@baj.media or intercomm@baj.media.
