Collecting and systematizing this information is very important:
- the world must learn about the existence of such places and slavery in modern Belarus, and about the suffering people are subjected to here;
- those responsible for using political prisoners as labor force should be publicly exposed;
- this information is an important argument for foreign business partners and states to cut ties with those who exploit political prisoners.
The initiative intends to achieve change by disseminating this information in Belarusian and foreign media, as well as by including this information in the report of the International Labor Organization and submitting an appeal to the UN Special Rapporteurs.
