lpv:translated text	"Mr President, media censorship and restrictions on the freedom of expression are common practice in Belarus. The media law introduced in 2008 allows for the supervision of media and the government uses it enthusiastically. According to unofficial reports, in 2011, at least 95 journalists were detained, and 13 of them were convicted and imprisoned for alleged failure to comply with administrative duties. On 21 June, the authorities arrested Andrzej Poczobut, a Polish correspondent working for Gazeta Wyborcza, and a prominent activist of the Polish minority in Belarus. He was accused of defaming the President and undermining the judicial and executive power of the state. Even though Poczobut was released on 30 June, the charges against him have not been dropped, and he may face a long-term sentence. I strongly appeal to the representatives of Belarus to act in accordance with their international obligations in terms of respect for fundamental human rights, starting from Article 34 of the Belarusian Constitution, which guarantees its citizens freedom of speech and expression."@en1
