A few days ago I wrote about the good news that four union leaders who had been jailed in Belarus were now free.
We know that our campaign helped. They told us so in a video. [*]
But this afternoon we received some terrible news: some of those very same union leaders, together with around 40 other union members, were arrested by the police and are now being held in a local police station.
They are likely to be held until Monday and possibly much longer.
The independent trade unions of Belarus and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) have called for a global campaign of protest.
Please join us in sending an urgent message to the local and national police demanding their release.

Free the 42 jailed trade unionists now!
