Hanna Horojenko is already released and reported to be at the Ukrainian embassy.
I remember I nearly got addicted to Channel 5 during the Orange Revolution. This channel is one of those things, which I really miss in the States. And gosh, I remember Hanna – she was one of those unforgettable faces during the colorful events of the year gone by.
Listening to this terrifying sound recording (I suggest that each one of you should take a listen) I thought that this horrific regime, accusing us – journalists, members of nonprofit organizations, students – of discrediting Belarus, all by themselves, discredits our nation to the fullest. It’s weird when you go to a foreign country, and somebody might associate you with Lukashenka who, technically, is the face of the nation. But once it is so, how many times do we have to blush when we hear something like Horojenko’s live arrest in Minsk? How many times do we have to be discredited, dishonored by this brutal repressive system?
