Human rights in Belarus have been a matter of concern for many years, with a number of international organizations and human rights groups highlighting serious violations of human rights in the country.

Belarus is a country located in Eastern Europe, and has been ruled by President Alexander Lukashenko since 1994.

One of the main issues with regard to human rights in Belarus has been the government's restriction of freedom of expression and freedom of the press.

The government has been criticized for suppressing dissent and cracking down on independent media outlets, with many journalists and activists being arrested or imprisoned for expressing critical views of the government.

Other human rights issues in Belarus include restrictions on freedom of assembly, as well as widespread reports of torture and ill-treatment of prisoners.
