Proceeding contribution from Andrew MacKay (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 March 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
On Belarus, may I strongly commend the Foreign Secretary’s robust objections to the behaviour of the authorities in Minsk at the weekend that resulted in innocent protesters being attacked and imprisoned? I urge him to be more hawkish and vigilant in the weeks ahead, because on many occasions we have heard that the European Union objects to a breach of human rights and promises action, but action is not taken. He will therefore understand why some of us are a little cynical.
