Coming home with @antecursor and @TanyaLokshina from Amnesty International+HRW mission in #Belarus. We were observing the protests and police action. A few personal impressions in this thread. /1 It wasn't my first visit to Belarus. I've been there many times including 2006 and 2010 elections (and subsequent protests), when I spent 15 days in jail. I've been deported three times from the country. Still, a lot of what I saw was unusual and surprising. /2

A brief digest of what happened in human rights in Russia last week.

On 6 June police arrested investigative journalist Ivan Golunov of @meduza_en on drug charges. Lack of evidence of his guilt and numerous violations of law by the police indicate a fabricated case. His arrest caused huge outrage and outpouring of support for him from other journalists & general public. Spontaneous protests took place in Moscow and other cities; leading newspapers put "I/We are Ivan Golunov" on their frontpages. He was released under house arrest on 8 June.

This was the most bizarre thing in my 18 years as an activist. On 6 October, I was abducted by unknown armed men in Ingushetia where I was monitoring peaceful protests for Amnesty International. They called themselves officers of local Center for Prevention of Extremism (CPE). They put me in a car, brought me to a field, undressed, tried to blackmail me and threatened with sexual violence. The men demanded that I tell them who I’d met with in Ingushetia and agree to work for CPE. They put a gun to my head and said they’d shoot.
