lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, yet again we are here to denounce the lack of freedom of expression in Belarus, a country with which the European Union has neighbourly links. The correspondent of a major Polish daily newspaper, Andrzej Poczobut, was arrested for alleged libel of President Lukashenko, risking a sentence of up to five years in jail. It is not the first time someone has been sent to prison having been accused of libelling the premier: last year, he spent three months in prison and is under a three-year suspended prison sentence for allegedly criticising the President in his newspaper. The right to freedom of expression and assembly is seriously limited in Belarus, and peaceful protestors were detained and summarily sentenced. There have also been quick and impartial investigations into accusations of torture and other mistreatment, and prisoners of conscience have been denied access to legal aid and medical attention. With this resolution, Parliament must demand respect for human rights in Belarus, something that is essential for any potential, further or subsequent deliberation on enlarging the European Union."@en1
