Svetlana Tikhanovskaya accompanied her message to the international community with an appeal on the YouTube platform, which she recorded in English.
One of the leaders of the Belarusian opposition, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, together with the Nobel Prize in Literature Svetlana Aleksievich and 55 members of the main staff of the Coordinating Council (CC) asked the international community to support the CC. This was reported on Saturday, April 3, on Tikhanovskaya’s Telegram channel.
“I sent a letter to international organizations and structures, including the UN, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the European Parliament, the US State Department and the Council of Europe,” Tikhanovskaya explained. “I created the Constitutional Court for peace negotiations, and all this time it has been acting exclusively in the legal field … I insist that repression against its members must be completely stopped,” she added.
The former presidential candidate reminded that many leaders of this body of the Belarusian opposition are in prison or outside the country. In addition, recently the authorities, according to Tikhanovskaya, have begun to introduce new “laws” with which they are trying to justify mass repressions. “

Earlier, on April 2, the State Security Committee of Belarus included ex-presidential candidate, as well as a member of the Presidium of the Coordination Council of the Belarusian opposition Pavel Latushko and 15 other citizens of the country outside the republic, in the List of organizations and individuals involved in terrorist activities.
Foreign Relations Advisor to the leader of the Belarusian opposition Franak Vyachorka, commenting on the situation for DW, called the accusations of the KGB absurd at the time: “The siloviki are trying to curry favor with Lukashenka.”
