"The release of the majority of those involved in the criminal case against the student body is a celebration for all true Belarusians," the authors of this initiative write.

- For more than 2 years, almost the only means of support for them were letters sent voluntarily.

Unfortunately, as we know, not all messages reached their addressees through prison censorship.

But now we have the opportunity to write them all the words of support that we wanted to convey to them while they were in prison.

You can do this on the website https://vypusk.me/.

Follow the link and write something nice to the students.

Wishes, suggestions, feelings - whatever you want to say about their release."
