Call for a week of solidarity with anarchists and antifascists of Belarus 23-30 November

Anarchists have always stood up against tyranny and dictatorship. Regardless of the color of the flag, raised by authoritarianism over this or that corner of the planet. So it is not surprising that anarchists are actively involved in the uprising against the dictator Lukashenko in Belarus. From the very first days, with our determination and uncompromising attitude, we showed that anarchism is a revolutionary movement capable of changing the world!

During the uprising, many of our comrades ended up in prison. Now at least 10 anarchists and antifascists are serving administrative arrests. In addition, 10 anarchists and 4 anti-fascists are waiting for criminal courts, punishment for some of them reaches 20 years in prison.

We call on you to join the week of solidarity and show by action your support for revolutionary anarchists and antifascists fighting against the occupation regime of Lukashenko! Every action counts!

Details of political affairs

Since the beginning of the protest about 40 of our comrades have been detained and sentenced on administrative cases. Some of them later became defendants in criminal cases. Without waiting for their arrest, they decided to leave Belarus. Many activists are now forced to hide from persecution in Belarus and abroad.

About 5 thousand people took part in protests throughout Minsk. Minor clashes with protesters took place in some parts of the city. According to the investigation, anti-fascists took part in blockades. Moreover, two of them were also charged with organizing mass riots.

The case of Mikalai Dziadok

Anarchist and blogger Mikalai Dziadok was detained late in the evening of November 11 in a safe house near Minsk. After his arrest Dziadok was tortured for several hours and forced to give passwords to the encrypted equipment.

The investigation believes that Dziadok repeatedly called for illegal actions on his Internet pages, including participation in protests and resistance to the cops. Dziadok himself was forced to go underground even before the revolution because of the threat of political persecution.

    Translation in Russian:

    Монтрёй-Баньоле (93): граффити в поддержку арестованным анархистам и антифашистам Беларуси.

    Целуем всех кто борется чтобы изменить жизнь в Беларуси и во всем мире.

    В ответ на призыв к неделе солидарности с арестованными и/или репрессированными анархистами и антифашистами в Беларуси и чтобы привлечь внимание к революционным перспективам восстания против Лукашенко, в течение недели с 23 по 29 ноября 2020, мы написали пару слов на стенах Монтрёйя и Баньоле, в пригороде Парижа.
    « Солидарность с арестованными анархистами и антифашистами Беларуси.»
    «Лукашенко, Макрон, Путин, Джонсон, Асад, Болсонару, Эрдоган, Трамп, Байден и т. д. : пусть все убираются! »
    «От Минска до Парижа, да здравствуют бунт и анархия »
    « Долой государство и его полицию. Да здравствует восстание!»
    « Смерть Власти! Сожжем все тюрьмы»
    Одну фразу даже написали на французском и русском :
    « Ни Лукашенко никто другой, да здравствует анархия»
    несколько анархистов
