The 16th of every month marks the The International Action Day of Solidarity with Belarus. Demand a release to all political prisoners and a cessation of all persecution, arrests and harassment to human rights defenders, journalists and lawyers in Belarus. The International Day of Solidarity started in Belarus October 16, 2005 in memory of the disappearance of Victar Gonchar and Anatoly Krasovsky on 16 September 1999, and has since been marked as a Day of Solidarity with all victims of the repression by the regime of Aleksandr Lukashenko.
