Debates On Belarus Start In PACE

The issue has been put on the agenda by urgent procedure.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) starts debates on the situation in Belarus. This issue has been urgently put on the agenda.

Russia was in favor of postponing the debate, said a participant in the debate, Ukrainian MP Aleksei Goncharenko:

"I have repeatedly raised the issue of human rights violations in Belarus. And my amendments were included in the report, which was approved in spring at the PACE. In particular, I proposed to create a permanent body at the Council of Europe to monitor the situation in Belarus. I also pointed out that economic, financial and political cooperation with Belarus must depend on the release of all political prisoners and end of repression.

Dictator Lukashenka has not heeded his demands and during this time he managed to turn into a terrorist by kidnapping oppositionist Raman Pratasevich and forcing his plane to land. We must toughen the pressure on Lukashenka's regime in order to deprive it of the opportunity to exist!

The white-red-white flag is still not present among the flags of the Council of Europe. But the time will come and this flag will appear on one of the flagpoles in Strasbourg. Long live Belarus," wrote Aleksei Goncharenko in his Telegram-channel.

On June 21, summer session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) began in Strasbourg (France).

The session runs from June 21 to 24 in a hybrid format: some participants have arrived in Strasbourg, while others joined via video link.
