Raman Bandarenka's death became one of the symbols of #Belarus's 2020 uprising - a reminder of the courage and the cost of standing up to a dictatorship.

Belarusians protested his killing. Thousands gathered to honour Raman Bandarenka. The rally was brutally dispersed. That's when journalist Kaciaryna Andreeva was arrested - she was live-streaming from the scene.

"I'm going out."

Those were the last words Raman sent to his neighbourhood Telegram chat before he was taken by Lukashenka's bandits. He didn't come back.

Our independent investigators identified the thugs. No criminal case was launched - they are close to Lukashenka.
