Mikalai Statkevich: Lukashenka, We Shall Come For You
Mikalai Statkevich

The BNC demands to stop the persecution of the independent press.

The leader of the Belarusian National Congress, Mikalai Statkevich, has written this on his Facebook page.

"The "precedent" likes carrying out repressions in August. Belarusians leave for villages, summer cottages, seashores or seasonal work. Western politicians go on holiday. It's easy to sue someone into the ground quickly and put in prison. And then, in autumn, the society and the "useful idiots" in the West face the established fact.

This time, they are putting the REP trade union on trial and arresting defenders of Kurapaty. The journalists of the most moderate periodicals have already been grabbed - they want to force them to cover events in the correct, from the perspective of the "precedent," manner . And to "cooperation," of course.

The Belarusian National Congress is not going to observe silently this "seasonal" reprisal against the civil society, journalists, Charter-97 and Belsat. We demand from the authorities to release immediately all those arrested and stop harassment of the independent press.

If our demand is not met, then next week we will come with it to the person, who gives the orders to prosecute the innocent people.
