We talk to two prominent journalists in Poland, Arleta Bojke from Poland’s public broadcaster TVP, as well as Michał Potocki from the daily Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, about a book which they’ve just published which contains harrowing tales of what is happening to independent journalists on the other side of the border in Belarus.

It’s no secret that Belarusian president Aleksandr Lukashenka has cracked down on all opposition forces since the rigged election in the summer of 2020. We get the inside story on their latest book, ‘Partyzanci’, or ‘Partisans’.

In this week’s review:

• Poland agrees to take in 500 Afghan refugees
• Health min warns daily Covid infections may hit 5,000
• Most Poles want to work remotely or in hybrid mode after pandemic
