Svetlana Tikhanovskaya says president Alexander Lukashenko should be sanctioned

The exiled Belarusian opposition leader has appealed for “care and empathy” from the Irish public as her country fights for free and fair elections.

She pointed to the similarities between Belarus and Ireland, noting that both have endured a “tumultuous path to independence from an imposing neighbour”. The two nations have each sought to preserve their national languages and have had a “long path of fighting for our right to choose our future”, she said, adding that Belarusians have not yet reached their goal.

It is not words but action that matter, she said: “Every little bit of care and empathy, and every small step helps because there are millions of us and there will be millions of steps,” she said.Despite constant repression, many Belarusians find ways to protest with the goal of achieving free and fair elections, she said, and 60,000 people have joined the movement and are preparing a nationwide strike.
