Horrifying story from #Belarus. After yet another interrogation by Lukashenka thugs, 17-year-old participant of protests in August 2020 Dzmitry Stakhouski blamed the Investigative Committee in his last post and jumped from a 16th floor window the same day.

TRANSLATION of the last post of 17-year-old Dzmitry Stakhouski.
If you read this, that means I am no longer alive.
The Investigative Committee is to blame.
It's not a secret that there was [a criminal case on the] Article 293 part 2 [of the Criminal Code] against me. In short, [they opened the case] for rallying. I don't think I would do such a horrible thing as suicide if they would not continue to exert moral pressure on me.
"I ask you to blame the Russian Federation for my death”,- wrote in her last Facebook post Russian journalist Irina Slavina on October 2nd, hours before setting herself on fire in front of the local police office in her hometown of Nizhny Novgorod.

She started her own project out of necessity, after loosing her job in the local media 3 times:
"Back then I have lost my job for the third time, left without income and being blacklisted. There are no more editors and media in the region who would undertake the risk of hiring me", - told Irina Slavina in one of her interviews on how KozaPress was started

My dear beloved Belarusians! We all and our country are going through a very difficult period in our history. When meanness borders on heroism, despair on courage, and love on betrayal. During this period we must make our choice. These times demand it from us.
These days, when we buried our heroes, I cry with you. This is an incredible loss for the country: innocent young people have been killed. We need to support their families. We are obliged to name the streets by their names in the future, their names will remain in our memory
