A recent report by the UN Independent Expert Group outlines severe and systematic human rights violations taking place in Belarus, which are being perpetuated by the Belarusian authorities. The report is set to be presented in Geneva and emphasizes the arbitrary detention of opposition figures, their treatment under inhumane conditions, torture, and overall cruel behavior towards detainees. It details that by 2025, at least 1,254 individuals have been sentenced on politically motivated grounds, violating their rights to a fair trial.

Furthermore, the report reveals a crackdown on civil society organizations, with a staggering 32 organizations having their registrations revoked in just ten months of 2025. This suppression of civil liberties is coupled with a broader policy aimed at shielding human rights violators from accountability, thereby reinforcing a culture of impunity that benefits the inner circle of Belarus's presidential administration and its loyal supporters. This trend poses serious implications for democracy and human rights in the region.

Experts have also noted new disturbing trends, including the forced expulsion of Belarusian citizens to third countries following their release from detention. Such practices not only violate basic human rights but also raise significant concerns regarding the treatment and safety of these individuals once they are deported. The report calls for urgent attention and action from the international community to address these ongoing violations and to hold the Belarusian government accountable for its actions.
