Commissioner Ferrero-Waldner condemns the sentencing of three under-aged Belarusian citizens

"I condemn the sentencing to 2 years of restricted freedom of M Suboch, P Vinograd and M Dashuk for having participated in a rally of sole entrepreneurs on 10 January in Minsk.These politically motivated condemnations constitute a severe violation of the fundamental rights and freedoms of these peaceful demonstrators.I ask their sentences to be reversed and call upon the Belarusian authorities to respect the rights of Belarusian citizens to assemble and to express themselves. The release of all political prisoners, the respect of the right to assemble and of media freedom and the conduct of free and fair parliamentary elections by the Belarusian authorities would constitute essential gestures that would allow the EU to positively respond."
