This right is legal unlike this power.

Who is to blame?

- I guess everyone to some extent.

What to do?

- To believe that together we can make a difference and become free. To believe that there are a lot of us and that our solidarity is mighty. Do not doubt that we have the right to change this power. This right is legal unlike this power.

And then we are to choose the way.

- Do not let violate our rights. To resist all illegal actions of official bodies: compulsory subscription, participation in official events and illegal persecutions. To organize protests at work places, in regions, cities, districts, across the country. There are a lot of us, remember it! Our solidarity is the strongest weapon against the abuse of power.

- To join independent Trade Unions or to initiate them. The ongoing decline in standards of living, absence of reliable social protection requires more active resistance, including various strikes, on the part of employees.

- To participate in protest actions organized by the opposition to protect their rights, their children and their lives. Peaceful protest is legal, and its suppression is not.

- To ignore every elections and referendums initiated by the regime and under control of Yermoshyna. To ignore ellection commissions involved in the election fraud. the election fraud is the crime with no period of limitation, and the boycott of "elections" and "referendums" is the legal mean to fight frauds.

- To ignore subscriptions to state-owned newspapers and do not read them. To ignore state-owned television and Russian TV channels, especially their news and "analytical" programs. It damages your health.

- To read and disseminate independent press. To disseminate publications of independent Internet-sources you trust. If you have an opportunity to print it out and disseminate among friends and acquaintances. You can copy articles and send, even just references sent to as many people as possible will be useful. We can create our own independent information space without a piece of state propaganda and its deceitful representatives.

- To restrict or to stop commenting every "breath" of the dictator, especially on social networks. He and his camarilla are so transparent and predictable in their thirst for power and fear of losing it, that it does not make any sense to discuss it. The excessive presence of the dictator and his family in the information space affects the psyche of a healthy person. There can be even days without Lukashenka on the Internet, which can make the life more positive.

- Do not trust pseudo-politicians and pseudo-activists. How to recognize them? It's very easy. Here are just a few indications:

- they constantly invite to local and parliamentary elections and referendums, and participate in them.

- they oppose sanctions against Lukashenka and the regime

- they oppose street protests

- they call for refusal to fight the regime, that is, the fight for freedom, and even critics of the regime. Lukashenka has already surrendered Belarus to Russia, including the military sphere, and the regime is the main threat to our independence.

- they eager to whiten the regime in the country and abroad.

- Do not rely only on existing human rights organizations. To create "shameful lists" of all violators: policemen, riot policemen, judges, men of straw, election falsifiers. To post it on the Internet, but only after check of all the data.

- To read books of Gene Sharp about non-violent resistance and its forms (for example, his famous 198 methods of violent-free and legal resistance). To try to find leaflets about violent-free resistance once issued by Zubr.

- To know and to be confident that the right to peaceful demonstrations, freedom of speech, freedom of information, freedom of rallies and meetings, marches are not only legal, but also guaranteed by the Constitution.

- To support those who can go to protests sacrificing themselves for the sake of us all.

- To support those who are unfairly jailed while fighting for our rights.

- To provide financial assistance (who can) to participants of the Belarusian resistance. It concerns only true resistance movement.

- To make all facts of lawlessness public.

It all should be based on our language, history, and culture, constant expansion of their range of influence. Remember our flag and "Pahonia".

Our solidarity must gain new qualities, to become the solidarity of resistance and independence defence.

We must achieve fair elections under the international control, and then the interrupted development of Belarus reboots.

Heroes aren't born. They are made by the history. People call heroes those who fight for what they believe is the most precious for them and their country - Freedom!

Long Live Belarus!

Andrei Sannikov, coordinator of the European Belarus campaign, specially for Charter97.org
