Belarus
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the government of Belarus regarding the arrest, imprisonment and intimidation of opposition leaders (a) Anatoly Lebedko and (b) Vincuk Viacorka in the period leading up to the presidential election on 19 March.
- Answer
-
The intimidation of Anatoly Lebedko and Vincuk Vyachorka is just one example of a pattern of harassment of the opposition by the Belarusian authorities. The Government deplores such harassment and, in addition to action in Minsk, the UK regularly makes its concerns clear to Belarusian representatives at the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe in Vienna and via the EU in Brussels.
