Hanna Liubakova is a Belarusian journalist in exile. After the government’s crackdown on the protests that followed the elections of 2020, Liubakova had to flee because her country was not safe for her anymore. She was later detained in a country which she is not disclosing and ultimately let go without being extradited to Belarus.

After all, she is one of the few voices left for those who cannot speak up.
