Diplomats try to prevent the writer from being arrested.

German diplomats take turns looking after Svetlana Alexeyevich, a Nobel Prize-winning Belarusian writer who turned on Alexander Lukashenko, for twenty-four hours.

According to hvg.hu, diplomats, including the embassy’s first subordinate, sleep on a sofa in the living room of the writer’s apartment in Minsk at night and try to prevent the police from arresting Alexeyevich as well. Alexeyevich is the latest member of the Coordination Council on Monday, which is organizing mass demonstrations and other protests due to fraud in the August 9 presidential election.

Diplomats arrived in Alexeievich after foreign embassies asked the authorities for guarantees that they would not harass the writer, who otherwise only participated symbolically in the work of the Coordination Council. The diplomats only responded from the State Department and were told that the police currently do not plan to arrest Alexeievich, that they cannot give a guarantee because the matter is within the purview of the police.

Although the writer, who was once interrogated once in early September, cannot be threatened with immediate arrest, she cannot live in peace: she is constantly harassed by strangers over the phone.



The former editorial office of index.hu has essentially ceased to exist, the country has lost its most read online interface. This is one of the most serious blows to the independent Hungarian press and freedom of information to date. The number of independent power editorial boards is steadily declining, and those that still exist are trying to stay afloat in a growing headwind. At HVG, we persevere, not giving in to pressure to bring in national and international news every day.

That is why we ask you, our readers, to support us, support us, join our membership and renew it!

And we promise to keep doing our best for you in all circumstances!
