On Sunday, January 26, 2025, Belarus will head to the polls to vote in the presidential elections. Concerns are growing, however, over a potential information shutdown during these crucial days.
Ruling since 1994, current Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has already said to be ready to shut down the internet completely in the event of protests, the Kyiv Independent reported. This is what happened, as per Lukashenko's acknowledgment, during the contested 2020 presidential elections.
