Mahiliou resients require apologies from Lukashenka for threat to "tear off heads"
Eleven residents of
Mahiliou expressed dissatisfaction with the facts of advocating
violence, rudeness and death threats addressed to state officials,
allowed by the head of the state in the live air of the Belarusian
TV. Letters with the demands to take action concerning the statements
of Aliaksandr Lukashenka were filed to the Prosecutor General, the
Minister for Information, the Chairperson of the Commission on Human
Rights and Mass Media of the House of Representatives, the
Chairperson of the Public Council on Morality and also to the
Chairperson of the Union of Writers of Belarus Mikalai
Charhinets.
The signatories demand that the state officials
responsible for countering the propaganda of violence and immorality
prevent the demonstration and publication of the expressions of the
head of the state which may adversely affect the psyche of children
and citizens, as well as to discredit the country in the eyes of the
international community.
The activists also demand
parliamentary hearings concerning the misbehavior of Aliaksandr
Lukashenka and obliging the president to offering public apologies to
the insulted ministers, children and Belarusian TV viewers.
Bear
in mind that on 8 July the Belarusian TV showed a report about the
visit of Aliaksandr Lukashenka to the village of Aleksandryia, where
the "Kupalle" midsummer festival was held. There Lukashenka
promised to tear off the the heads of the ministers if the produced
agricultural machinery would be of poor quality.
