Jeżeli masz możliwość, to prosimy ewentualnie o przekazanie 1,5% podatku na naszą działalność Białoruską Pavel Latushka , Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Representative of the Cabinet for the Transition of Power, Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, Leader of the "Latushka Team and the Movement 'For Freedom'" faction within the 3rd convocation of the Coordination Council What awaits Belarus? On January 7, 2025, on Orthodox Christmas, Lukashenko made a statement that should alarm every one of us: "I am already being informed that people from the East are beginning to arrive". These words are no accident. The regime has announced a plan to bring in 150,000 Pakistani workers, and there is already talk about building housing — dormitories and rental apartments. But who are these for? Not for us, not for Belarusian families who have been waiting for housing for years. This housing is being prepared for migrants who, according to Lukashenko’s plan, are supposed to replace Belarusians. Against the backdrop of a collapsing economy, an exodus of skilled professionals, youth fleeing the country, and the breakdown of healthcare, education, and other sectors — the Lukashenko regime has suddenly decided that the solution for Belarus is… inviting 150,000 people from another country. Not reforms. Not ending repression and releasing political prisoners. Not democratizing the country and economy, not creating a free market and ending the state monopoly. No. Apparently, all we need to do is bring in 150,000 people from abroad — and everything will magically work out. State propaganda has already issued threats: "Work harder, or you’ll be replaced by workers from Pakistan". Such words, coming from an ONT propagandist, are deeply cynical. But these are not just "working hands". One cannot rule out that this is a deliberate plan, full of risks. Lukashenko wants to turn Belarus into a transit hub for migrants, threatening national security, and once again damaging relations with neighboring countries, all for his own benefit. And he is doing it systematically and deliberately — since 2021.

MEP Michał Kobosko initiated the adoption of an urgent resolution by the European Parliament concerning the immediate risk of further repressions by the Lukashenko regime in Belarus — namely, threats coming from the Investigative Committee . "During the march on March 23, 2025 in Warsaw and in the days that followed, Belarusians who took part in demonstrations abroad approached me with a request to draw the attention of European politicians to the crimes being committed by the Lukashenko regime against Belarusians living in EU countries: criminal cases, trials in absentia (so-called 'special proceedings'), blackmail, threats, persecution of relatives in Belarus by the regime's security services, property confiscation and more". "In response to these crimes, NAM also launched an information campaign to raise awareness among Western media and politicians about the regime’s cross-border crimes". "It is important to note that as a result, concrete proposals prepared by NAM were included in the final draft of the resolution. These also reflect the voices of Belarusians who reached out to us after facing persecution by the Lukashenko regime. This is a good example of a swift reaction by the EU's representative body to an unprecedented situation" , noted Pavel Latushka. In its resolution, the European Parliament "considers the persecution of Belarusian citizens for their peaceful democratic activities abroad through 'special proceedings' by the Investigative Committee as a direct violation of the territorial sovereignty of EU Member States"  and "calls for pan-European legal support and protection for Belarusians in exile" , including those who cannot renew their identity documents and are subjected to extraterritorial persecution. The European Parliament also "calls on the International Criminal Court to expedite proceedings concerning crimes against humanity committed by the Lukashenko regime" . In addition, the document contains a call to impose  "additional sanctions similar to those applied to Russia, particularly against officials responsible for transnational repression" . The European Parliament also insists on the need to strengthen "political, financial and technical support for independent media, human rights defenders and civil society initiatives". "I am grateful to the Members of the European Parliament and personally to MEP Michał Kobosko for their principled stance and concrete action in response to the new repressions of the Lukashenko regime. This is a message to the dictator: crimes against Belarusians abroad will not go unpunished. It is necessary to increase pressure, expand sanctions and push for concrete measures to stop the terror against Belarusians both inside Belarus and beyond its borders" , stated Pavel Latushka.

During the meeting, issues related to supporting the investigation conducted by Polish law enforcement agencies into crimes committed against Belarusian citizens in 2020 and in the following years on the territory of Belarus were discussed. The National Anti-Crisis Management, under a cooperation agreement with the law firm "Kopeć & Zaborowski", based on a request from NAM, maintains regular communication and provides support in the investigation of the aforementioned cases . Currently, the law firm is handling cases of at least 15 Belarusians who suffered from torture carried out on the territory of Belarus. It is important to note that the law firm provides this legal support to the NAM team and Belarusian citizens on a pro bono   basis . Investigative actions concerning the facts of torture committed against Belarusians are being carried out by the Polish Internal Security Agency under the supervision of the National Prosecutor’s Office of Poland. Reference:  Thanks in part to the active position of the National Anti-Crisis Management, aimed at using national mechanisms to bring to justice those responsible for the torture of Belarusians, the Polish Prosecutor’s Office has already issued six arrest warrants for regime representatives — including the heads of the detention center on Okrestina, the detention center in Zhodino, and four leaders of units within the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The basis for this was criminal prosecution for acts of torture committed on the territory of Belarus against citizens of Poland. The NAM team requests assistance in covering the minimum organizational, transport, and logistical expenses for the lawyers of "Kopeć & Zaborowski" in the event of their travel to provide legal defense for the interests of Belarusian citizens outside of Warsaw. The target amount is 5,000 zlotys. We will be grateful for any donation amount.
