LIBERECO: Belarus’ rights record “terrible” after five years of repression

August 4, Pozirk. The human rights situation in Belarus “remains terrible” after five years of unprecedented repression, said LIBERECO — Partnership for Human Rights in a statement that comes days before the fifth anniversary of the disputed presidential election that was followed by a protracted political crisis.
“Since the falsified presidential election on 9 August 2020 and the following nationwide mass protests, the human rights situation in the EU neighbouring country has significantly worsened. All independent media and NGOs have already been dissolved or forced into exile for a long time. Meanwhile, security forces still hunt for people who participated in the demonstrations, and almost on a daily basis, people get summoned and pre-emptively detained, including former political prisoners and their relatives,” LIBERECO said.
“The criminal prosecution of dissidents, protest participants, journalists, human rights defenders, and lawyers continues, and there are neither independent observers nor lawyers worthy of the name in the courtrooms.”
