A repressed Belarusian woman, a cultural actor in exile, asked the BCC for help. She is going through a tough life situation. This young woman experienced repression and persecution in Belarus. She openly spoke out against the dictatorship and helped the families of political prisoners. And her creative personality was too bright, capable of inspiring other Belarusians with her example. Several criminal cases were opened against her for „organizing and financing protests” (Articles 342 and 293), the apartment where she lived with her parents was searched, equipment and valuables were confiscated, and the apartment itself was sealed. As a result, she fled abroad with a small child and parents in her arms. Already in emigration, the woman’s father was diagnosed with cancer (the man became very ill due to stress and the loss of literally everything). Now he is undergoing complex treatment, one more urgent operation is needed. Due to continuous work and stress, the health of his daughter also rapidly declined. Her seasonal job is the only source of income for a family of four. Funds are critically needed for the father: the family is awaiting new medical and post-op procedures.The BCC started the anonymous fundraiser to help the woman cope with this ordeal. |
