Dear friends,

We are glad to present a new project March 25 Belarusian Freedom Day Online http://en.belarusy.eu. It will cover the latest events during the opposition demonstration on Freedom Day in Minsk this Sunday, March 25. The latest updates, photo, video, and audio materials presented on the web site will be unique as they will be gathered through a network of volunteers, actual participants of the event. The website will be open at 8 a.m. on March 25.

Last year following the protests against fraudulent presidential election in Belarus, a peaceful demonstration lead by the democratic candidates for president Aliaksandr Milinkevich and Aliaksandr Kazulin, who is a political prisoner now, was violently broke off by police despite numerous calls from international community to refrain from violence against peaceful demonstrators. Journalists were not allowed to be present at the demonstration that led to a limited coverage of the event.

The Freedom Day Online project of online monitoring is created by a team of Belarusian civil initiatives and activists, such as Third Way Belarus (belarus.3dway.org), Youth Initiative Voka (moladz.org), Initiative (iniciative.org), For Freedom of Political Prisoners in Belarus campaign (za.nashih.info/en), and others.

Lukashenka regime holds on the ability to hide the oppression of the civil society by creating an information vacuum. The website 25 Belarusian Freedom Day Online is created to publish uncensored news about the event this year and thus resist the propaganda of Belarusian state media. You can help bringing democracy in Belarus by spreading the information about the website http://en.belarusy.eu in order to show the international community how Belarusian regime treats peaceful demonstrators and to draw more attention to the problem of democracy in Belarus.

Sincerely,
Team of Belarusian Freedom Day Online
