American senators invited the main Belarusian housewife Svetlana Tikhanovskaya to Washington to speak in the US Senate.
The initiators of the invitation were Senators Jeanne Shahin, Chris Murphy and Rob Portman, who met with Tihanovskaya in Vilnius.
“Senators invited Svetlana Tikhanovskaya to visit Washington and speak at the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US Senate in June”, – Tikhanovskaya’s Telegram channel said.
In August 2020, mass protests began in Belarus after the announcement of the results of the presidential election, which was won by Alexander Lukashenko, gaining more than 80% of the vote. However, the Belarusian opposition leaders, led by housewife Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, did not recognize the election results and organized protests.
