Belarussian flag

My greetings to the support team!
I'm writing to you for the Republic of Belarus. As you could possibly know, dictator Lukashenko had falsified a presidential election on 9 August 2020 once again. He had usurped the power and jailed or forced to leave the country those considered to be his political opponents. The election's results had been denied by all of the EU members and all of them have supported the will of the people of this nation. It has been more than 1.5 years since the protests' outbreak, more than 30.000 people have been thrown in jails, and at least 10 people were killed (either shot or slaughtered).
The historical flag of a red horizontal stripe between two white ones, which has more than 100 years of history, has become a symbol of protest. 26 years ago, when Lukashenko came to power, he changed the flag and the emblem to those adopted from the Soviet Union.
These symbols are associated with lies and violence of the regime by the absolute majority of citizens this day.
The historical flag might be found here: https://github.com/egorikftp/Belarus-Flags-Museum/blob/release/app/src/main/ic_launcher-playstore.png
It is my duty to ask you to add the possibility of adding the alternative flag for Belarus to the library. It is a highly important issue for the thousands of Belarussians who keep using it. Thank you in advance!
