100 Cities Say No to Minsk and Demand EU Foreign Policy
Last night, over 110 cities across Europe and worldwide, from Oslo to Istanbul, from Lisbon to Vilnius as well as in Dubai, Mexico, Pretoria and New York took to the streets against Lukashenko's unjust Belarus dictatorship, demanding a European Foreign Policy.
Activists across the continent gagged statues – symbolically preventing them from speaking freely – much like the current situation for many Belarusian citizens and leaders of democracy and oppositions movements.
Action Co-ordinator Toni Giugliano said:
“We will demonstrate each year until the last European dictatorship falls and until the EU addresses the human rights violations in Belarus.”
“European youth will never give up fighting for a dictatorship free Europe. Our partners joining us in the action have trebled and our cities have reached a new record.”
