"The movement that mobilized to oppose Alyaksandr Lukashenka in August 2020 was notable for its ability to bridge divisions of social class, geography, age, and identity. Almost uniquely among post-Soviet revolutionary movements, the Belarusians who rose up were not divided from those who did not al ... more
"This document looks into the human rights violations committed against two specific groups who play important roles for the enjoyment of the right to peaceful assembly.

Hamburg: German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) (2021), 12 pp.
"The 20 October 2021 marks the first anniversary of the shooting of unarmed protesters by the Nigerian military.
