Unified Crime Registration Book

The Unified Crime Registration Book (also known as The Single Book of Crime Registration) is an online platform created as a single archive of data on crimes committed by Belarusian law enforcement. It was launched in December 2020 on the initiative of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, implemented by the National Anti-Crisis Administration. The project aims to build a database of individuals involved in human rights violations in Belarus and to collect evidence and testimonies related to crimes, so that future Belarusian judicial authorities and international legal organizations can investigate criminal cases under Belarusian and international law. On 1 December 2020, Tsikhanouskaya announced the launch of the platform to gather testimonies about detentions and torture committed by Belarusian law enforcement as well as the names of alleged perpetrators. The project was developed by the National Anti-Crisis Administration in two months. At the press conference, Tsikhanouskaya stated that the project was addressed to law enforcement officers involved in the repressive machine. Andrei Ostapovich, one of the founders of BYPOL, clarified that punishment would eventually be reduced only if those individuals were not recognized as suspects at the time of their statement. Participants in the project can also be citizens who witnessed or were victims of torture and violence by law enforcement. On 12 January 2022, a court of the Homiel District classified the Unified Registration Book and other online resources of the BYPOL initiative as extremist documents.
