Interview with Masha, a Belarusian anarchist in exile.

We discuss how the dictatorship in Belarus functions, the general political and social situation, the general repression of dissent, the arrests of protestors, the use of facial recognition software, and how cases are processed through thecourts, the role of social media in organising resistance, and the situation regarding political prisoners.

Belarus has the most political prisoners in Europe, more than in Russia.

Masha, is speaking from Poland.
