How Belarus dissidents in exile abroad are pursued and threatened

Belarus dissidents in exile abroad face threats and persecution from Alexander Lukashenko's regime, with many targeted through various means. Tens of thousands of Belarusians have been arrested for political reasons, with hundreds of critics facing persecution abroad. Critics believe the government's strategy is to break ties between exiles and those who remain in Belarus to maintain control. The regime tries to discredit activists by accusing them of plotting against the government with Western support.
