On September 21, 2024, at the FNV 2024 Solidarity Festival in Amsterdam, representatives of Belarusian independent unions told the story of repressions in Belarus and their fight for workers’ rights.
The program of the event included an action in support of political prisoners with participants wearing T-shirts with a picture of Aliaksander Yarashuk, leader of the Belarusian Congress of Democratic Trade Unions (BKDP), who was thrown in jail for his trade union activity.
The action participants made a group photo, calling for the release of all political prisoners in Belarus whose number currently exceeds 1500.
The Belarusian section of the Festival, a joint event of Salidarnast e.V. and FNV, was devoted to repressions against independent trade unions in the country and the dissolution of the BKDP. The participants were apprised of the current situation in Belarus and could acquire merchandise featuring calls for the release of political prisoners.
