Israelambassadör Eli Valk säger att det är konstigt att den nye Israelambassadören Yosef Shagal inte känner till de politiska fångarna i Vitryssland/First Israeli ambassador of Israel (THANKS ISRAEL - Shalom! ♥) Eli Valk: "not to know about political prisoners is strange". Eli also says: I condemn depriving people of the opportunity to express their opinion." Belarus has moved in the direction of stepping up political prosecution, and not liberalization of the regime."

Alyaksandr A: “If the Belarusian regime really intended to hold a dialogue, political prisoners would have been released yesterday. Arrangements with Lukashenka mean nothing. A dialogue must be carried out under particular conditions. There must always be a threat of imposing sanctions, also economic ones, if agreements are not fulfilled.

Ambassadör Eli Valk besvarar frågan som ställdes till Shagal mycket bättre och fördömer strävanden att beröva mänskor rätten till yttrandefrihet; "här i Israel kan man säga vad man vill även om det skulle missgynna landet" :
- And what would you answer to the question about political prisoners, if you were an ambassador to Minsk now? (Charter 97 question to Eli Valk)
- "I would not say that I need half a year to get acquainted with the situation. But I would say that I need to study the situation better, to familiarize myself not only with the opinions of those who are talking about crackdown on Belarusian political prisoners all over the world, but with the official point of view. However, I would condemn depriving people of the opportunity to express their opinion. Here in Israel everyone says what he likes, even when it causes direct harm to the country." (EV)
"Sine I left Belarus, more than 12 years have passed, Belarus has moved in the direction of stepping up political prosecution, and not liberalization of the regime. I met with the rector of the Belarusian State University Kazulin, Trade Minister Marynich, who was an ambassador to Latvia then, and later they became political prisoners. The conclusion about reprisal to political opponents suggests itself. If I know that Sannikov went to the polls, and he is a political prisoner now, comment is needless.” (E Valk)

"René Fasel on political requests to revoke Belarus from hosting the 2014 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship: “We discussed that in the Council and Congress. The Congress decided to go to Belarus in 2014. We are away from political discussions.”
Min (bloggarens) och mångas åsikt är att det är djupt omoraliskt och förkastligt att samarbeta med diktatorn i Belarus och KGB som torterar rättskämpar och oskyldiga oppositionella.

Lukashenka is weak now due to the oncoming Russian election. It's not clear how the Belarus-Russia relations will develop. That's why the dictator tries to demonstrate his success in the western direction. It's necessary to demand the regime to stop repression and release political prisoners as well as reform the whole political system,” Alyaksandr Atroshchankau said in an interview to charter97.org.
EU condemns Belarus' dictator:
Finally, they condemn the continuous persecution of human rights defenders and members of the democratic opposition and the harassment of civil society activists and the independent media in Belarus for political reasons and demand the unconditional immediate release of all political prisoners.

"The siltation in Belarus was regarded as the most alarming one at the meeting and received the primary attention.
Bogdanova said in her representation thousands of people in Belarus were being thrown into prison for their political views. She gave detailed information about her brother, presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov, and talked about tortures of political prisoners in the KGB jail and confinement conditions in penitentiaries and transit prisons.
Bogdanova called on European politicians to help Belarusians in their struggle against the dictatorship. According to her, targeted economic sanctions against the authorities of Belarus could be the main help.
Talking about the case against Andrei Sannikov, I noted: do not forget there are 17 political prisoners in Belarus, but unofficially, there are thousands of them. If a presidential candidate has faced such treatment, what do others meet? I said about confinement conditions in remand jails and prisons, about ongoing tortures. Andrei has no access to a lawyer, he is forbidden to send letters and phone home.
I noted at the end neither I nor the people of Belarus will stop our fight for freedom, but we need help. With your help, we will need less time to achieve the result. We watch the dictatorships collapsing one after another. Let's combine our efforts. Imposing targeted economic sanctions against the Belarusian dictatorship, on oil products and potash fertilizers supplies, are important today as never before,” Iryna Bogdanova told charter97.org in an interview."
