Shot knees and a death sentence: How Belarusian regime punishes supporters of Ukraine
Over 200 political prisoners are imprisoned in Belarus for opposing Russia's war, including teenagers who spray-painted slogans and railway partisans who disrupted Russian troop trains.
The Belarusian regime continues to crack down on anyone who expresses support for Ukraine or resists Russian aggression. According to recent reports, more than 200 individuals are held as political prisoners. Among them are teenagers who used spray paint to leave anti-war messages on walls and railway partisans who sabotaged Russian military trains. The punishments are often brutal, ranging from shot knees to death sentences. These cases highlight the ruthless approach of Alexander Lukashenko's regime in suppressing any dissent related to the war in Ukraine. International organizations condemn these practices, but repression persists.
