In a letter sent to the artist, the group says that the concert was"organized and funded by the Belarusian dictatorship, led by Alexander Lukashenko," adding that, under this regime"there is no freedom of speech, no freedom of assembly, and no freedom of association." "This performance, scheduled for the day before Belarus’ elections, is no coincidence. It is an excuse to cancel the opposition's final electoral rally, and prevent ordinary Belarusians from showing their support for freedom and democracy,” said HRF president Thor Halvorssen."It is also a deliberate attempt to turn attention away from the massive electoral fraud that is already taking place across the country.
"Protestors are grabbed off the street at random, and many are beaten bloody," the HRF wrote in its letter to Tyga."The two most popular candidates in the upcoming presidential election, Viktor Babryka and Sergei Tikhanouvsky, were both arrested on trumped-up charges. Many opposition activists have had to flee the country, along with their children after receiving threats from the government.
