About us
Release N:OW is a joint initiative launched in 2025 by politzek.me, FreeBelarusPrisoners – Association of Relatives of Political Prisoners and Former Political Prisoners, Foundation “21st May”, Euro-Atlantic Affairs Agency and Taskforce Belarus.
Our shared goal is to secure the release of all political prisoners in Belarus. We work together to:
- RAISE international awareness of the catastrophic situation in Belarusian prisons,
- MOBILIZE public and political support,
- ENGAGE in dialogue with decision-makers, and
- PROVIDE concrete impetus for decisive action.
Our campaign started on May 21st, 2025, the Day of Belarusian Political Prisoners, with the publication of a joint Manifesto, that is supported by all major Belarusian human rights organizations.
