Presidential elections held in Belarus in summer 2020 saw Alexander Lukashenko win for the sixth time. The country’s opposition and most democratic states cast doubt on the official result and thousands took to the streets of Minsk and other Belarusian cities. The book Bělorusko na cestě ke svobodě (Belarus on the Road to Freedom) delivers interviews with representatives of several generations critical of the country’s regime, many of whom have experienced repression and imprisonment. The book launch will also focus on the current situation in Belarus.
Alongside authors Tereza Šupová and Adéla Dražanová the journalists Petra Procházková and Libor Dvořák will speak.
Ondřej Soukup will chair the discussion.
