On Sunday, Zhanna Charniauskaya, a Belarusian living in exile outside of Chicago, plans to march along Michigan Avenue for all those back home who cannot.
Charniauskaya, 55, will march for her old neighbors in Minsk, the capital of the country, who were imprisoned: Ales Bialiatski, a Nobel Peace Prize winner she met in Chicago, who has been imprisoned since 2021, and the thousands of others who are being held in penal colonies on political charges, according to human rights watch groups.
