Ahead of the International Day of Solidarity with Belarus on 7 February, the undersigned organisations working in the field of freedom of expression and media freedom call for the immediate and unconditional release of all journalists and media workers who continue to be arbitrarily detained.
Nearly six months since President Alexander Lukashenko claimed a landslide victory in what has been widely acknowledged and condemned as a fraudulent election, opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya remains in exile and thousands of protesters continue to take to the streets of Minsk calling for his resignation.

Sergei Smirnov, pictured being detained at a solo protest in May 2020, was sentenced to 25 days in jail on Wednesday for allegedly calling on people to protest through a Twitter repost.
Russian journalist Sergei Smirnov is set to spend 25 days in jail for sharing another person s tweet poking fun at his own appearance, after authorities said the post constituted an illegal call to protest because it included the date and time of an anti-government rally.
The sentence, which was handed down by Moscow s Tverskoy District Court on Wednesday, signals the Kremlin s continuing crackdown on Russian journalists amidst sweeping nationwide protests demanding the release of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
