Belarus is seizing property and bank accounts of democracy activists living in Canada. Families still inside Belarus are being harassed as leverage. Photos from a rally in Alberta become evidence of "extremism." Apartments are confiscated without court dates or appeals. Since the fraudulent 2020 election and the mass protests that followed, over 1,100 political prisoners remain behind bars. More than 8,000 politically motivated convictions. An estimated 500,000 to 600,000 Belarusians have fled the country. But fleeing doesn't mean safety anymore. At least 207 participants in Belarusian Freedom Day events held in Canada, the US, UK, Poland, and Lithuania were identified by authorities and charged with "facilitating extremist activities." The playbook is straightforward: seize property back home, threaten family members who stayed behind, file charges in absentia with sentences up to seven years and fines up to $750,000. "Extremism" becomes whatever the regime decides it is. Facts and evidence are irrelevant. This is transnational repression. Authoritarian states projecting control beyond their borders to silence dissent in free countries. It's happening from Belarus, Russia, China, and Iran. The assumption that democratic nations provide a safe haven for political exiles is eroding in real time. Distance no longer protects you.
