4 жніўня – Міжнародны дзень салідарнасці з грамадзянскай супольнасцю Беларусі
У межах Міжнароднага дня салідарнасці з грамадзянскай супольнасцю Беларусі 4 жніўня ў Вільні пройдзе акцыя на знак падтрымкі палітзняволеных беларусаў. Менавіта 4 жніўня ў 2011 годзе ў Мінску быў арыштаваны вядомы беларускі праваабаронца Алесь Бяляцкі. І хоць ён быў датэрмінова вызвалены ў 2014 годзе, ціск на праваабаронцаў і актывістаў не спыніўся. Як мінімум 6 палітвязняў застаецца за кратамі ў Беларусі, і ў свеце надыходзячых выбараў Прэзідэнта, якія прызначаныя на 11 кастрычніка, няма гарантый, што новых выпадкаў пераследу па палітычных матывах не будзе.
