FIDH: While Belarus hosts Ice Hockey World Championship human rights violations continue (video)

At the time of Ice Hockey World Championship – 2014 that will last in Belarus until 25 May, the International Federation for Human Rights is calling for more active dissemination of information about the situation with human rights in the country.

FIDH created short video films aimed at drawing attention to the human rights violations that still occur everywhere in Belarus, and that became even more obvious at the time of championship.

“Hockey – is everything O.K.? In Belarus human rights are violated every day. Share this video. Don’t keep silent!” – human rights defenders call for the subscribers of social networks to support this action in Twitter and Facebook.

On 13 May, the first video about the use of forced labour in Belaruswas released.
