April 8, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Alaksiej Lavon\u010dyk, founder of the By_Help solidarity initiative, has launched a fundraiser to finance a reward for reliable information on the whereabouts of prominent opposition politician An\u017ealika Mielnikava missing since late March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An anonymous donor reportedly agreed to double the amount collected by April 14, the activist said on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 28, Warsaw-based politician Pavie\u0142 \u0141atu\u0161ka told Pozirk <\/em>that Mielnikava, speaker of the opposition Coordination Council, was not in Poland and had not been in touch since March 25. Polish police launched an investigation into her disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mielnikava\u2019s daughters, aged seven and 13, are staying with their father, ex-husband Andrej Mielnika\u016d, in Belarus, the man told zerkalo.io yesterday. He denied knowing his ex-wife\u2019s whereabouts, noting that they had not been in touch for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mielnikava is not in Poland and most likely not in Belarus, \u0141atu\u0161ka said on April 7, citing Polish investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some reports suggested she could have left for the United Kingdom, as a flight had been booked for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mielnikava was elected speaker of the third Coordination Council in July 2024. She represented Team \u0141atu\u0161ka and the Movement for Freedom, which significantly outpaced other factions, taking 28 of 80 seats in the council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
