October 14, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> May “all the families broken by the regime’s cruelty\u201d be reunited soon, Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja has said on Mother\u2019s Day, celebrated on October 14 in Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician expressed support to jailed regime critic Palina \u0160arenda-Panasiuk who is scheduled to go on a new trial today and many other “courageous mothers” like her who are \u201cstill held as political prisoners.” “Let us not forget them,” she said on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0160arenda-Panasiuk remains in a poor physical and mental state as she keeps facing pressure and \u201ctorture-like\u201d detention conditions, her husband Andrej \u0160arenda said earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three years ago, the activist was given two years in prison after the judge found her guilty of violence against a police officer and insulting officials. She subsequently received two additional one-year terms for allegedly disobeying the prison administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This spring, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women called on Belarus to urgently protect \u0160arenda-Panasiuk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
