Belarus LGBT Propaganda Law: 100 Days, Rising Persecution, Repeal Campaign

Belarus's Article 19.16 on 'LGBT propaganda' has been in force for 100 days, with LGBTQ+ House reporting increased persecution and information pressure, though the full scale of enforcement remains unclear. Human rights defenders have launched a repeal campaign. This marks a continued pattern of state repression against LGBTQ+ rights in Belarus, with the new law adding a legal basis for targeting.
