"Mr President, the centuries-old Olympic tradition goes hand in hand with the notions of peace and non-violence. It is therefore shameful that in the country that is to host the Olympics in a few months’ time, people are being shot at and those who wish to express publicly their aspirations as citizens are being killed. It was good that this state of affairs was roundly condemned in the House today during the debate, which is now drawing to a close. In particular, I should like to congratulate the President of the European Parliament for his very strong statement. At the same time, I should like to draw attention to the fact that in a country that is our immediate neighbour, namely Belarus, force is also being used to break up peaceful demonstrations and participants in the latter are being arrested. Fortunately no weapons have been used there. I believe that we should make it abundantly clear that we condemn events in Minsk just as strongly as we condemn events in Tibet."@en1
