On the morning of June 27, Belarusians living in Florida came together in Hallandale Beach — to support their compatriots at home and to show solidarity with everyone in the country who opposes violence, repression and pressure on anyone who thinks differently.

Solidarity and demands

We count ourselves among the 97% who are opposed, and we express our solidarity with you. We demand the immediate release of everyone imprisoned without legal grounds — from Sergei Tikhanovsky and Viktar Babaryka to Maxim Furmanov and Stepan Losik.

We condemn any form of war against peaceful citizens. Belarusians deserve freedom and respectful treatment — we are a European people with a rich history; let us not forget that! Together alone we shall prevail! Lukashenka, your place is on the scrapheap of history — leave of your own accord!

Many who live abroad would gladly return to a free country — free from the dictatorship of the riot baton and the whip, free from the delusions of one unhinged old man, free from rudeness and mismanagement. Let us achieve that together!

Long live Belarus!
