Torture in Belarus

Torture in Belarus refers to the alleged use of brutal, inhumane treatment by authorities, often against political opponents, protesters, or detainees. Reports include beatings, electric shocks, sleep deprivation, and other cruel methods to punish or intimidate individuals, suppress dissent, and maintain control. These actions violate international human rights standards and undermine the rule of law. Despite denials, evidence from victims, human rights groups, and independent organizations highlights a pattern of systematic abuse, raising serious concerns about human rights violations within Belarus's justice and security systems.
