George Bush: “In countries like Belarus fervent pleas for freedom are silenced by tyranny and oppression”

President of the United States mentions Belarus as a country where human rights and freedoms are violated in the proclamation on Human Rights Day.

“The United States was founded on the principle that government must respect people's rights to speak freely, worship as they choose, and pursue their dreams in liberty. As we remember the enduring importance of our Constitution's Bill of Rights, our thoughts turn to those who have yet to secure these precious liberties. During Human Rights Day, Bill of Rights Day, and Human Rights Week, Americans celebrate the rights bestowed upon all by our Creator and reaffirm our deep commitment to helping those whose desire for liberty and justice is still dismissed and denied,” George Bush said.

“In a free society, every person is treated with dignity and can rise as high as their talents and hard work will take them. Yet in countries like Belarus, Burma, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and Zimbabwe, fervent pleas for freedom are silenced by tyranny and oppression. So long as there are people who fight for liberty, the United States will stand with them and speak out for those who have no other voice. Freedom is the eternal birthright of all mankind, and [...] we renew our commitment to lead the cause of human rights and pray for the day when the light of liberty will shine on all of humanity,” the US president noted.
