Markus Löning, Federal Government
Commissioner for Human Rights Policy, made the following statement:
“The German Government demands that human rights activist Ales Bialiatski be
set free immediately. This action is evidently intended to forcibly silence a
committed representative of Belarusian civil society. The German Government
condemns this abuse of the criminal code for political goals in the strongest
possible terms.
The repression of opposition NGOs and their activists must end and political
prisoners in Belarus
must finally be released.”
