"Mr President, we were also positively surprised by the fact that Mr Andrzej Poczobut was released last Saturday but, as the previous speaker has said, there is no way that we can be satisfied with the situation of human rights and of freedom of expression in Belarus, especially for journalists, but also for opposition figures, lawyers and other activists. There have been several criticisms about how Mr Lukashenko is handling his country, which is very close to a dictatorship. I think it is the last dictatorship we have in Europe. I am happy that this Parliament stands united against any violation of freedom of expression in a European country. So, in our resolution, we demand from the Belarusian authorities an immediate end to all forms of pressure and oppression, whether against journalists, media workers or other activists, and the release of all political prisoners. This is Europe and Belarus is a part of Europe. Repression as we see it in Belarus has no place in Europe."@en1
