EspañolUNION OF POLES IN BELARUS
The 'Union of Poles in Belarus' (Polish: ''Związek Polaków na Białorusi'', Belarusian: ''Саюз Палякаў Беларусі'') is an organization located in the Eastern European country of Belarus. The group, which has a membership of 20,000 people, represents the Polish minority in Belarus, numbering about 400,000, as per official data (and much higher according to unofficial estimates).
Lately, the group has received international attention due to the Belarusian Government cracking down on the group and their activities. The leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenka, has accused Poland and the European Union of trying to use the group to create an uprising similar to what took place in Ukraine, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan.
