Pavel Selin: Dictatorship Has Its Limits

The main thing is not to be indifferent.

Famous Russian journalist Pavel Selin congratulates website Charter97.org with the 20th anniversary.

- Hello, dear friends! My name is Pavel Selin, I'm journalist and TV host.

The other day website Charer97.org celebrates its 20 years. Theis is not just numbers and an anniversary.

These are 20 years of evidence how people reveal and tell the truth sometimes in conditions of great hazard.

For me "Charter-97" is one of the main sources of unbiased information in Belarus.

Of course, they are my friends. They are my close friends who created "Charter-97" and now work there and support it every day, every second.

I was really concerned about them when their apartments and the editorial office were attacked, they were beaten and put behind bars and were tortured there. When they were forced to escape abroad and work there.

Now they suffer challenges. "Charter-97" suffers financial hardships. The assistance of various European funds is running dry, and the so-called "real policy" is to blame.

You know, I am on business trip now, high in the mountains and I came up with a comparison: "Charter-97" is a thin mountain tree, which does its best to survive. It is being pressed by a spate of totalitarianism, thrown at with sharp stones of repressions.

Together we can help the Charter. Let's congratulate it with the anniversary.

Guys, wish you health, strength, luck and determination!

Dictatorship has its limits. Long Live Belarus!

It will be recalled that on September 3 editor-in-chief of Charter-97 Natallia Radzina announced the threat to informational resource cause by drastic reduction in financing and called readers for solidarity. Ways to support the website:
