An unprecedented attach on trade unions in Belarus: Activisits arrested, including Union Leaders

The State Security Service (KGB) arrested more than a dozen trade union activists, including almost all the Union leaders. This crackdown comes after decades of the independent trade union movement in Belarus taking a strong stand against the dictatorial regime of Alexander Lukashenko. It has also condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and demanded the withdrawal of the Russian troops from the territory of Belarus.

Global Unions, the ILO, Amnesty International, and others have already condemned the arrests and called for a stop to repression against Belarusian Trade Unions. We demand the immediate release of all the activists and stop the prosecution of independent trade unions in Belarus.
