"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, as you will recall, two weeks ago in Strasbourg, we postponed the vote on the statement on Belarus for two weeks. This was done the day after Mr Lukashenko waived his right to show clemency to the two men accused of carrying out the attack on the Minsk metro. I argued then that this would be read in Minsk as a sign of weakness. Unfortunately, this is what happened. The day after we postponed the adoption of this statement, the two young people accused of the attack in Minsk were executed by shooting. In my opinion, this is a lesson which proves how we should proceed with Belarus and Mr Lukashenko. I hope we will never again let up in our efforts for the people of Belarus to live in democracy and freedom, as they are entitled to do. Today, I would like to ask Members to endorse the resolution. I hope and am sure you will do so."@en1
