"Mr President, in the previous debate, I, too, along with a number of fellow Members, alluded to the session of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly held last week which the Belarusian MPs were absent from, as you are aware. Their absence is justified because MPs in Minsk are not elected freely. In addition, the human rights situation in this country remains more than critical. I believe that we were all appalled by the repressive measures taken against the protesters in December. At the moment, six of the seven candidates who stood against President Lukashenko are still being tried and harassed. Many other people, including these candidates’ staff, are in prison simply for participating. I think that two important things need to be done: 1. an independent inquiry must be held into the acts of repression 2. I think that the economic sanctions must be extended against Belarus, applying to the state firms in this country which play an important role in shaping the region."@en1
