Journalists call for government support for victims of Belarusian regime

As independent journalists of a democratic country, we feel it's our duty to respond and therefore we call upon the Polish authorities to simplify and accelerate the process of granting political asylum and international protection to all those who ask our country for it.

We appeal for taking all possible action on the international level leading to release of all human rights activists imprisoned in Belarus, including Roman Protasevich and Andrzej Poczobut.
