Belarus -> Poland
19 October 2020
I left due to the threat of arrest because of my political beliefs and activism. I had planned to take my family out of the country and return. It didn't work out as planned.
"I am free, and that's how I feel."
"I miss the feeling of home."
Yes, I would go back. But I don't know if it would be permanently.
Right now, my mom is in emigration. She left Belarus for Ukraine, and after the start of the war, she moved from Ukraine to Spain.
