70+ European artists urge Serbia not to extradite Belarusian filmmaker Andrei Hniot, facing potential human rights violations.

70+ European artists and film directors have signed an open letter urging Serbia not to extradite Belarusian filmmaker Andrei Hniot. Hniot, a prominent critic of Belarus's authoritarian government, faces alleged tax evasion charges and could face imprisonment, torture, or even the death penalty if extradited. The artists argue that Hniot's extradition violates international law and could expose him to human rights violations. Several international organizations, including Amnesty International, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and the International Federation for Human Rights, have also called on Serbia not to extradite Hniot.
