Mother Pleads with Lukashenko to Return Children from Orphanage

In Zelva, Belarus, a mother of three is publicly appealing to President Lukashenko for help in regaining custody of her children. Aisha Piluman, the mother, claims her children were taken from her due to her ex-husband's alcohol abuse after their divorce. The court's decision, which Aisha did not contest, left the children with their father. However, the father's drinking led to the children's placement in an orphanage. "The children shouldn't have ended up in the orphanage," Aisha states emotionally in the video. The principal of Derechinskaya school, where the children attended, told local media that Aisha showed little interest in her children's education until 2024. Aisha, now working as a manicurist, now regrets her past actions and hopes to be reunited with her children. The video's widespread views and comments highlight public attention to this heartbreaking case, prompting local authorities to respond.
