The Association of Christian Democrats in Eastern Europe shows their concern about the situation in Belarus
The Association of Christian Democrats in Europe (existing of the Christian Democratic
People’s Party from Moldova, Christian Democratic Union of Armenia, Christian Democratic Union of Latvia, Christian Democratic Union of Ukraine, Christian Democratic Movement of Georgia, Christian Public Movement "Благодатная Россия", Christian Democratic Party of Belarus) expressed their concerns about the situation in Belarus in a joined declaration on their meeting on 22 October in Chisinau. Vladimir Plamadeala, board member of the ECPM participated to this meeting.
The Association
of Christian Democrats in Eastern Europe expresses concern in respect to the
condition of the human rights and freedoms created in Belarus, especially after
the presidential elections of December 19, 2010.
The rights to
freedom of assembly and free speech continue to be violated in this country. In the last months in the
Republic of Belarus freedom of conscience and religious rights were seriously violated, in
many parts of the country the
Prosecutors Office issued official warnings on
the bases of art. 193.1 of the Criminal Code, which provides imprisonment for up to two
years for Protestant Christians,
performing activities within unregistered religious and political
organizations or public associations.
Opposition leaders continue to be detained, among them Paul
Severineţ, the party leader of “Christian
Democracy in Belarus”, Nicolai
Statkevici and Andrei Sanikov,
ex-presidential candidates
in recent elections, Alesi Beleaţkii, Vice-President of International Federation for Human Rights, President of the Center for
Human Rights "Vesna",
Zmiţer Daşkevici, leader of the "Youth Front", other political and civic activists, recognized by the Belarusian and international organizations
for human rights as political prisoners.
We also express our concern about the fact that the legislation of Belarus has suffered a series of changes without any prior public
discussion, aimed at restricting
the rights and liberties of the citizens and the onset of
even harsher repression from
behalf of law enforcement authorities.
The listed facts raise
the concern of the international community regarding the situation of observing democratic standards and
human rights in Belarus.
Expressing our solidarity
with the international community's position, we call on Belarusian authorities to respect fundamental
human rights, release and rehabilitate the opposition leaders and civic activists.
