A father and son are holed up in the Swedish Embassy in Minsk, where they took refuge in September 2020 from Belarusian security forces after joining pro-democracy protests. The Swedish authorities say the two men cannot claim political asylum at the embassy, but have not taken any steps to remove them from the building. Both men face up to six years in prison in Belarus.
