Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet Pavel Latushka congratulated the Human Rights Centre "Viasna" on its 30th anniversary:

"Thirty years of your work is a path of consistent and selfless defence of human rights and dignity in Belarus. All these years Viasna has remained an example of principled commitment, professionalism, and faithfulness to its values, despite the difficult circumstances in which you have to work.

In recent years, Belarus has been living in the reality of systematic pressure on civil society: mass detentions, politically motivated persecution, restrictions on freedom of speech and association, pressure on human rights defenders, journalists, and lawyers. In these conditions, human rights work itself requires not only professionalism but also great personal courage.

That is precisely why the significance of your work cannot be overstated. Viasna remains a source of support for people who have come under pressure, an important voice of truth, and a testament to the fact that the principles of human rights continue to live even in the most difficult circumstances."
