1991

Belarus, which had gained independence from the USSR after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, elected Alexander Lukashenko as president in 1994.

He quickly became known for restricting freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

Khalip has stated "Dictatorships don’t like journalists - they either destroy them or buy them out."

That year, Lukashenko fired the editor of Soviet Belarusia after the employees proposed privatizing the paper, and also demanded the paper become his "mouthpiece."

Khalip quit her job and became a correspondent with other papers.

1994

She decided she wanted to become a full-time journalist in 1994, at age 26.

She has stated "I was looking for something not very difficult...something easy and interesting. I was only half right, because journalism is really interesting, but not easy."

1997

In 1997, Khalip was reporting at a rally that opposed Belarus unifying with Russia.

She was clubbed by riot police and dragged by her hair, and her father, who was with her at the rally, was beaten into unconsciousness.

Khalip later went to work for the independent newspaper Imya ("Name").

1999

In 1999, the Belarusian government issued a warning to Imya over an article Khalip had written about the Central Electoral Committee's activities.

According to the chair of the Belarusian Press Committee, the article and the newspaper's coverage of the upcoming presidential elections amounted to "incitement to overthrow the state," and a second warning would lead to the paper's closure.

That year, police came to Khalip's home and detained her for an entire day.

They interrogated and allegedly threatened her, and while she was detained, they searched her apartment, confiscated travel documents, and took her work computer.
