’The human rights of people
in Belarus
are routinely abused by the state. Freedom of speech and the right to peaceful
protest are not respected. Human rights defenders are harassed. We have
serious concerns about unfair trials and the use of torture in detention. This
is all the more worrying because Belarus
is the only country in Europe still to retain the death penalty,’ said Amnesty
international UK
Director Kate Allen.
