"Bysol" launched an emergency fundraiser for released political prisoners
A large group of Belarusian political prisoners is being released once again, and after years in prison, these people will have to start life in a foreign country almost from scratch. Therefore, the "Bysol" solidarity fund traditionally launches an emergency fundraiser to help all political prisoners released on March 19.
The goal of the fundraiser is to pay a minimum of €1000 to each released person as part of the program to support political prisoners and those released. This money will help them survive the first weeks after release: find temporary housing, buy clothes and medicine, and restore documents. The fundraiser will be active until March 31, 2026, after which payments will begin.
If more funds are collected, it will be possible to support people even more — to cover additional expenses, treatment, and document restoration. All money collected above the specified amount will be divided equally among the released individuals.
Of course, this assistance will not solve all problems. But it will provide the most important thing — the opportunity to breathe and take the first steps towards a new life after prison.

To receive assistance from the emergency fundraiser, you must contact BYSOL directly by August 31, 2026, inclusive. Contact in Telegram: @bysol_pzk

1) пагугліце "EU support for people of Belarus reaches €200 million". Гэта толькі дапамога Еўропы, а ёсць(была) яшчэ і амерыканская, каторая склала прыблізна столькі ж.
2) на той спасылцы, каторую вы адшукаеце, першай і асноўнай мэтай дапамогі будзе "assist victims of repression". Гэта афіцыйны сайт Еўракамісіі.
Пасля гэтага можаце колькі хочаце даказваць, што даюць на іншыя мэты і што грошай няма. Але грошы - ёсць, выдзелены. На ахвяр рэпрэсій, першай мэтай.
1) 200 за 5 гадоў не на рэпрэсаваных, а на ўсю грамадзянскую супольнасць у шырокім сэнсе. Пытанне з зорачкай: колькі з гэтых грошай засталіся ў фондах і арганізацыях уласна ЕС, якія займаюцца субгрантынгам або працуюць з мігрантамі?
2) На той старонцы , якую я адшукала, Today's funding of 30 million euros will strengthen support for victims of repression, independent journalists, and initiatives pursuing accountability for the crimes committed by Lukashenka's regime. То бок тут яшчэ незалежныя смі і ўся праваабарона.
3) support for victims of repression, independent journalists, and initiatives pursuing accountability for the crimes vs "адкласці на экстранныя патрэбы" - нібы ёсць розніца, не?
4) Асноўная маніпуляцыя пра вылучаныя грошы, нібы вулучаецца нейкая сума, якую можна проста ўзяць і раздаць патрабуючым. А так ніколі, ніколі не бывае. Вылучаюцца грошы не непасрэдна ў рукі victims of repression, а на дейнасць, якая "support for victims of repression". А дзейнасць можа быць рознай: ад псіхолага, які кансультуе пры шэлтары чырвонага крыжа, які лекцыі для мігрантаў ладзіць.
