In August 2020 belarusian people rose against dictatorship of Alexander Lukashenko hopying to overthrow a regime, existing in Belarus since 1994. Several months of protests ended up in mass wave of repressions and political migration from the country. With thousands of political prisoners out of which at least 30 are anarchists, Belarus is the country with one of the highest levels of repressions in Europe this days.
