September 22, <\/strong>Pozirk<\/strong>.<\/em> Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja called on the international community to find a working solution for exiled Belarusians who cannot renew their passports as she addressed a Belarus-themed event on the sidelines of the UN High-Level Week in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many exiles cannot travel to Belarus over fear of politically-motivated reprisals to renew their IDs after Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s edict, signed in September 2023, prohibited Belarusian missions abroad from providing passport services to Belarusians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the UN, Cichano\u016dskaja also made four additional specific requests, including the return of Belarus to the UN agenda and a UN resolution addressing political prisoners, transnational repression and the \u0141uka\u0161enka regime\u2019s role in Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician also called for an \u201cArria Formula\u201d meeting of the UN Security Council on Belarus, with the participation of Belarusian experts, former political prisoners and human rights defenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
