#Belarus. It won't be a comforting thread. At the funeral of Kanstantsin Shyshmakou,who was found dead,his family mostly refused to talk. The investigators assumed that his death is not of a criminal nature, but some people who knew him said “everyone knows the real reason.”
He was found in a river. Prior to that,as an election commission member,he refused to sign a falsified electoral protocol. After a few days,he called his wife and said he doesn't work at the military museum anymore. After that he was supposed to come back home, but disappeared.
His death has had a chilling effect on other commissions' members, who had been collecting evidence of voter fraud. Important part of this work was stopped. And since there’s not enough evidence, it’s hard for the international community to announce #Tsikhnouskaya the winner.
