More than 2,000 non-profit organizations have been liquidated in Belarus since 2020.
In October 2026, the reduction of the civil society sector in Belarus continued, reports the human rights organization Lawtrend.
Last month, three funds and one non-governmental institution were forcibly eliminated. Another seven associations decided to liquidate themselves.
Human rights activists point out that such decisions are mainly of a forced nature and are related to repression, risks for leaders and participants, as well as a real inability to continue the activity.
In total, as of the beginning of 2020, the sector's total institutional losses amounted to at least 2,090 associations. Of these, at least 1,272 were forcibly liquidated or are in the process of forced liquidation. At least 818 more decided to kill themselves.
