In a collaboration with Belarusian journalists, we have documented that the entity, which has received the equipment is accused of human rights violations. Specifically, the Belarusian government is responsible for cracking down on the \u00a0political opposition and civil society, violating the rights of Chechen refugees, and meting out harsh treatment on migrants and refugees passing through Belarus on their way to the EU\u2019s external borders. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Belarusian government is also targeting independent and critical media. For that reason, a number of precautions have had to be taken to protect the Belarusian journalists involved in the investigation. Following harassment from the authorities, it was decided that a byline from a participating journalist would be withheld. Plans to approach particular sources and locations were also cancelled in order to maintain the safety of the journalists.<\/p>\n

The team consists of the investigative reporting platform Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and Danwatch, a Copenhagen-based independent media centre specialized in investigations of states\u2019 and companies\u2019 impact on human rights and the environment, who has partnered up to investigate the money trail from the EU to Eastern European authorities with poor human rights records. <\/p>\n

The project has been funded by a grant from IJ4EU<\/a>.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
