A woman identified as the mother of a Belarusian opposition activist has appeared in a tearful apology video after her apartment was stormed by a group of masked men, forcing her to atone for her child’s political activity.
The clip, shared widely online on Wednesday, was captioned with the words “warriors for [Belarusian President] Lukashenko broke into the home of the mother of a political refugee who is currently sheltering in Poland, and posted a video of her arrest with the caption ‘Parents answer for their children.’ She became the 907th political prisoner.”

The video shows a group of men in ski masks and dark jackets, some of whom are carrying rifles, using crowbars to pry open the door of the apartment. The words “Parents answer for their children” are displayed at the start while an electric guitar soundtrack plays. The video then cuts to the woman on her knees on the floor, answering a question from one of the men.
