Chychov’s organization speaks of “planned operation”
Many Belarusians are fleeing their homeland to neighboring Ukraine, Poland or Lithuania in the face of repression. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled for almost three decades, was declared the winner of the presidential election a year ago despite massive allegations of fraud. This triggered historic mass protests in Belarus, which were brutally suppressed by the security forces. The activist Vitali Chychov supported his organization “Belarusian House of Ukraine” Belarusian citizens on their escape. He had headed the organization from Kiev on the Telegram messenger service.
The organization now spoke of a “planned operation” by the Belarusian leadership to “eliminate” a critic of the government. It is obvious that the Belarusian secret services had killed Chychov, who was a “real threat to the regime” in Minsk. The Belarusian authorities have classified people critical of the government as criminals or violent revolutionaries who are supported by the West.
