In Belarus, the investigative committee has initiated criminal charges against journalist Hanna Liubakova and a special investigation involving 20 Belarusian analysts, experts, and journalists who have provided comments for the independent media outlet Radio Svaboda. The charges against Liubakova include an attempt to seize power, incitement of discord, formation of an extremist group, and participation in an armed conflict. In response, Liubakova expressed irony over the regime's accusation of attempting to seize power, pointing out that Lukashenko is the one holding power illegally. Meanwhile, in Latvia, the State Revenue Service has initiated over 250 criminal investigations for alleged breaches of EU sanctions against Belarus and Russia. The U.S. Government has condemned the Lukashenko regime's latest attacks on human rights and the democratic aspirations of the Belarusian people.
