The self-proclaimed Belarusian president is actively preparing for “elections” to parliament and local councils, which are due to take place in February. Lukashenko also continues to take revenge on the protesters of 2020. About this 24 Deputy head of the Joint Transitional Cabinet and head of the People's Anti-Crisis Management in Belarus Pavel Latushko told the channel, noting that the Lukashenko regime does not stop repression. Latushko noted that Lukashenko spends colossal resources on the security apparatus. Expenditures on the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the KGB, and various special services to suppress Belarusians are growing significantly. According to human rights activists, there are now 1.5 thousand political prisoners in prisons. But all international experts agree that it is worth talking about at least 5 thousand prisoners. Detentions, arrests and sentences are recorded every day for participation even in protests that took place in 2020. That is, Lukashenko is still taking revenge , said Latushko. He noted that on January 16, singer Maryem Gerasimenko, who performed the song of the Ukrainian group “Okean Elzy” at a street concert in Minsk in 2022, was successfully evacuated from Belarus. She was sentenced to 3 years of “domestic chemicals,” which is a type of restriction of freedom in Belarus. Deputy head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus said that Lukashenko is conducting a special purge before the so-called elections.
