Dzmitry Bandarenka: Let Russia pay for Lukashenka

38

If it had not been for sanctions against Belarus, there would have been several thousands of disappeared and murdered opposition leaders in the country.

A former political prisoner and a European Belarus civic campaign’s coordinator Dzmitry Bandarenka stated that, Belsat TV channel reports.

The director of a human rights organization Freedom House and a former diplomat David Kramer call upon Washington and Brussels to introduce economic sanctions against the Belarusian regime. How tangible is the implementation of the human rights activist’s suggestion?

Dzmitry Bandarenka believes that the leadership of the USA should listen up to David Kramer’s voice, since the human rights activist visited Minsk as an aide to the US Secretary of State and knows the situation with human rights in Belarus. Apart from that David Kramer is a serious actor in American politics and a potential candidate for the head of the US foreign office.

“The Belarusian regime is accused by international community of a number of crimes: kidnappings and murders of political opponents, election fraud and the usurpation of power, tortures and mass repressions against civil society, corruption and weapon and trade on weapons and even drugs. That is why international community must react on such a behavior”, - the former political prisoner noted. Dzmitry Bandarenka emphasized, that Belarus is a serious problem of the whole world, that is why international community must use any methods possible.

According to him, David Kramer was the father of a sensible policy towards the Belarusian dictator, having deranged Chavez and Lukashenka’s oil business.

“The USA together with Canada then really applied economic sanctions against Belarusian Belneftekhim, which are still in force”, - Dzmitry Bandarenka reminded.

According to the coordinator of the European Belarus, David Kramer made the Belarusian regime release the political prisoners Dzmitry Dashkevich, Andrei Klimau, Aliaksandr Kazulin. “It was Kramer’s merit, who knows that talks with Lukashenka’s regime bring nothing, but actions or a threat of sanctions make the regime react”, - Dzmitry Bandarenka noted.

In the opinion of the former political prisoner, the Belarusian regime, like any other dictatorship, only understands the power language.

“If there are Western sanctions, Russia will try to compensate for them. If Russia wants to have its satrap Lukashenka in Belarus – let it pay for this pleasure”, - Belsat’s guest emphasized, adding that Kremlin will not manage to constantly support the dictatorships in Belarus and other countries of former USSR.
