Support for politician Mikalai Kazlou, who left Belarus and now has to start life from scratch

The politician was imprisoned twice, the second time sentenced to 2.5 years under the “people’s” Article 342 of the Criminal Code of Belarus. He was released in July 2024 and left Belarus that autumn due to the threat of another arrest.

“I joined the protests because I could not stay silent. As a result, I ended up in prison, had to leave Belarus, and now my family and I are in urgent need of support in exile.”

Andrei Salapura, a foreign language teacher from Brest, took part in the protests in 2020. He was arrested in 2024 and spent a year and a half in a correctional facility. After his release, he left for Poland, where he now needs support for his family while applying for residence and settling in exile.
