Sannikov: "My usual prison service ended in september. Then torture began" - EU recalls all ambassadors from Belarus

Amos. 5:24. "The Judgement time chronicle" is a mini-film from human rights center Viasna, dedicated to the former presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov, who was sentenced to five years in prison for political reasons. Update: THANKS EU!

Another great video: Natalya's story (journalist beaten by police and imprisoned in KGB jail) and film by Dan Rather about Belarus (situation like in "Warshaw ghetto"). Lukashenka är en hitlerbeundrare och vän med H. Chavez, Irans president och Syriens ledarskap. Lukashenko admires Hitler and is a friend of Iran's president and Syria's leadership.

News: EU recalls all ambassadors from Belarus. EU/Ashton: "All EU Member States will also summon Belarusian ambassadors to their foreign ministries.
We will continue to follow the situation closely."

"Vitryssland uppmanade i dag ambassadörerna från Polen och EU att lämna landet.

Beslutet kom efter att EU fört upp ytterligare 21 namn på en lista med vitryska myndighetspersoner som nekas inresa i EU-länder.
Det är en markering mot det försämrade människorättsläget under president Alexander Lukasjenkos styre.
Som svar på Vitrysslands drag beslutade alla EU-länder att kalla hem sina respektive ambassadörer."

"Sanctions should be strenghtened":
http://charter97.org/en/news/2012/2/29/48720/
"The Belarusian regime treats its people in a manner usual for dictatorial countries – as they were its private property. Civil rights do not work there. Civil rights is a line the authorities cannot cross over in their relations with citizens."


Prime minister of Poland to the people of Belarus: “I'd like to tell a few words to the people of Belarus.Be strong. Stand firm! Long live Belarus!”

Sanktioner borde också inbegripa ishockey-VM och Eurovision song contest, för att visa att man menar allvar. Bojkotta Lukashenka och hans regim tills han släpper alla politiska fångar, valarbetare, presidentkandidater, mänskorättskämpar osv.
Befria det lidande vitryska folket.

OB! Film by Dan Rather (20 min) about Belarus and the dictatorship showing police beating people under a peaceful demonstration. Lukashenka is a friend of H Chavez, Iran's president and the regime of Syria.

Ps. 102:20f "Ty han blickar ner från sin heliga höjd, HERREN skådar från himlen ner till jorden för att höra den fångnes klagan och befria dödens barn,"
"that he looked down from his holy height; from heaven the Lord looked at the earth to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die, that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord, and in Jerusalem his praise, when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the Lord."

Iryna Khalip, the wife of imprisoned presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov, thinks the tough stance of the EU will lead to the release of political prisoners.
“We need to apply all efforts, both inner and external, to intensify the struggle for the release of political prisoners and gain the release,” Iryna Khalip told Radio Racyja.


http://www.charter97.org/en/news/2012/3/2/48802/
How does Aliaksandr Atroshchankau see the development of the crisis? “Let’s hope that the European Union will not get scared by its own bravery, that the EU will continue this process and will demand that the Belarusian law is followed. Nothing unreal and implausible is demanded from Lukashenka – only to release the political prisoners and hold a free voting.”
“The peculiarity of the situation is that this is probably the first time when the regime has faced a really united position of the European Union. Now the Belarusian authorities cannot use disagreements within the EU and manipulate their economic interests as easily. (…) Such a determined approach based on a firm position can bring results and show Lukashenka that he cannot build a concentration camp in the 21st century and trade political prisoners,” he told BelaPAN.

"The EU has no plans to let up the pressure and prominent businessmen who provide crucial support for Mr Lukashenko could find themselves targeted by the next round of EU sanctions this month." (Charter 97/Financial Times)


- Viktigt med olika typer sanktioner, offentliga fördömanden av den orättfärdiga regimen och konsekvent bojkott med alla tillbudsstående medel.  

- It is extremely important with various sanctions, public condemnation of the unjust regime and consistently boycott by all practical means.
