lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the right to freedom of expression and the right for journalists and the media to scrutinise power and social development are taken for granted by those of us living in countries with deeply-rooted democratic traditions. These rights are not as obvious in every country in our world. In Belarus, for example, those who put forward a view different to that of the governing powers are persecuted. People who follow a political line different to that of the government are subject to reprisals. Nor is there any freedom of the press in Belarus. Journalists and the media are prevented from critically scrutinising and reporting on both domestic politics and the outside world. There are powerful reasons for strongly condemning the way the Belarus regime handles freedom of expression and freedom of the press. It is important that all democratic institutions are assisted in work to strengthen the independent press in Belarus. Therefore, I welcome the fact that Parliament is once again training the spotlight on the situation in Belarus."@en1
