In Lviv, Belarusians and Ukrainians expressed solidarity with journalists imprisoned by Lukashenka

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.
