More than ever, journalists in Belarus need support

Journalists are still being detained in Belarus, months after a rigged presidential election. Among the latest to have been arrested is Yulia Slutskaya, founder of the Press Club Belarus.
Yulia Slutskaya is a prominent Belarusian journalist and the founder of the local Press Club, which runs educational and cultural initiatives relating to journalism, and hosts professional development events. In July 2016 I had the pleasure of being invited to meet with her, and with her students of journalism, to share my experience in the media.
Political oppression
Yulia, together with five other Press Club Belarus’ employees, was detained on December 24. Prior to that, the Club had reported on the detentions of journalists covering the anti-government protests in the country, ongoing since a rigged presidential election in August 2020.
