A meeting with Ksenia Lutskina will take place in Leipzig

On June 12 in Leipzig, will be a meet­ing with Kseniya Lut­ski­na — a Belaru­sian jour­nal­ist who spent 4 years behind bars for cov­er­ing protests and expos­ing state pro­pa­gan­da. Arrest­ed sim­ply for doing her job, she is now free and will share her sto­ry first­hand.

Repres­sion against jour­nal­ists and blog­gers in Belarus has esca­lat­ed to dis­as­trous lev­els over the past year. Accord­ing to the Belaru­sian Asso­ci­a­tion of Jour­nal­ists, at least 39 media rep­re­sen­ta­tives are cur­rent­ly impris­oned.

Belarus remains the most dan­ger­ous coun­try in Europe for jour­nal­ists. Author­i­ties use cen­sor­ship, vio­lence, mass arrests, and even in absen­tia con­vic­tions to silence inde­pen­dent voic­es.

Join us for an evening of sol­i­dar­i­ty:

• Write let­ters to Belaru­sian polit­i­cal pris­on­ers
• Hear direct­ly from Kseniya Lut­ski­na

When: June 12, 18.00

Where: Hel­mut Space, Kohl­gar­ten­straße 51, Leipzig

Free entry.

The event will be held in Eng­lish.
