The Belarusian Helsinki Committee (BHC) is a non-governmental human rights organization established in 1995 and the sole remaining independent human rights group in Belarus.[1] Its goal is protection of human rights in Belarus in accordance with the Helsinki Accords.

The government fined the organization $73,000 for allegedly unpaid taxes on money received via European Union Tacis Programme grants (2003, overruled by the Supreme Court in 2004) and has brought criminal proceedings against officials of the organization, including its chairman Tatiana Protko.[2]
