Last sommer the presidential election in Belarus was stolen. It caused mass protests and the profound political and human rights crises unprecedented for 21 century Europe. More than 40 thousand peaceful protesters were detained. Among them more than 180 were journalist. Today almost 700 are recognized political prisoners. Thousands are still in jail and at least 10 were killed. This barbarity has now become the challenge for regional and international security.
Lukashenko`s regime hijacks the airplane, uses irregular migrants as a human weapon and threatens neighboring countries with military aggression. This terrorism has to be stopped.
To do I call on the UN to support the mandate of the Examination effort established by the HRC resolution 46/20, the important work of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Belarus. And to implement the OSCE Moscow Mechanism reports.
Those in question should also be put on agenda of the UN security council and be considered on the third committee.
Justice must prevail! And it will!
