Svetlana Tsikhanovskaya commented on the terms requested by the prosecutor for her and other participants in the "Coordinating Council case", according to her press service:

"The accusation of 12- to 19-year-olds who are currently not in Belarus is the best example of how the regime actually treats Belarusians who stand for democracy.

That's how sincere the intentions of any commissions that invite Belarusians home are.

Therefore, I want to repeat once again: dear Belarusians, take care of your safety as much as possible.

I know we will definitely come home.

And we will come back on our own terms, thanks to daily work, not some permission or judgment."
