Statement of Youth Union of the Canadian Association of Belarusians :: Charter'97 :: News

People’s March “For Better Life!” one more time manifested to the Belarusian authorities that the Belarusian nation won’t tolerate silently humiliation and violence, which have been committed by the regime of Lukashenko for many a year now. Arrests of Andrei Sannikov, Dmitry Bondarenko, Ludmila Gryaznova and Leonid Malakhov for their participation in the rally and demands to lift salaries, stipends and pensions, reduce public utilities tariffs and create favorable conditions for entrepreneurs prove the government’s fears and turmoil.

It is symbolic that the action was held ahead of the great national feast – the Day of the Belarusian People’s Republic’s independence. This not only points out the necessity of cardinal changes in the government and interior policy but also reveals deep love for their country on part of Belarusians.

We, Belarusians living abroad, uphold all peaceful ways of struggle for the better and freer life in Belarus, sharing our deep respect and gratitude to all who took to the streets on March 12 in order to demand European life for Belarusians.

Long Live Belarus!
The Youth Union of the Canadian Association of Belarusians
