“Lukashenka’s regime is not forever; the future belongs to us,” she wrote, urging Belarusians to stay resilient in their struggle for democracy.
“Together, we will win,” she added.
March 25 is an unofficial holiday commemorating the short-lived Belarusian People’s Republic, declared in 1918 before being overrun by Soviet forces. Though not recognized by Lukashenko’s government, it remains a powerful symbol for the opposition and the Belarusian diaspora.
Tsikhanouskaya has led the opposition from exile since the disputed 2020 presidential election and continues to advocate for democratic reforms in Belarus.
Today, March 25, is Belarus Freedom Day—our day of unity, courage, and hope.
