Belarus claims opposition leaders train in Poland

A Belarusian daily has accused Poland and other neighbouring countries of training future Belarus opposition leaders. The government daily Respublika claims that a summer camp serving that purpose was organized recently at a Baltic sea holiday resort of Jastrzebia Gora, where young Belarusians were allegedly instructed how to conduct an election campaign. The daily says that at such events "professional revolutionaries" are shaped to take part in "illegal political actions." It claims also that similar trainings are organized for students expelled from Belarusian universities by the regime of the authoritarian president Alexander Lukashenko. They were invited by countries such as Poland to continue their education.
