Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to allocate only 10.170.000 USD for Belsat.

170 people signed it.

At the beginning of September, Belsat journalist Darya Chultsova was released after two years from Lukashenka’s regime prison. She was arrested for reporting on protests. We met Darya in Warsaw to talk about Belarusian people considered enemies of the regime. She also told us how it is to be free in Belarus now.

Belsat TV journalist Darya Chultsova, released on September 3 after two years in a penal colony in Belarus, was honored at the PRIX Europa-2022 festival in Potsdam. She was awarded along with Katsyaryna Andreyeva a year ago, but she was only able to receive her statuette now – two months after leaving Lukashenka’s prison.

The fourth edition of the Kalinowski Conference this time took place in Brussels. Agnieszka Romaszewska-Guzy, the director of Belsat TV, spoke at the meeting devoted to independent media and state propaganda in Belarus. The main topics were: the actions of Lukashenko’s regime in the context of the war in Ukraine, repressions in Belarus, political prisoners, and ways to limit the violence of the Belarusian authorities.

Since August 9, there have been at least 320 cases of detaining media workers in Belarus, the Belarusian Association of Journalists (BAJ) reports.
