Poland’s EU Presidency: Shaping Enlargement Through Security – COMMENTARY
28 November 2024
In a country that is gripped by mass protests, Belarusian activists are arrested and trapped in a dysfunctional legal system.
Nearly three months since the presidential election, Belarus is coloured in white and red: mass arrests, beatings, kidnappings and exiles led by President Alyaksandr Lukashenka did not break people’s demand to elect a new head of state in a free and fair election.
Last weekend, thousands of people marched in Minsk to protest Lukashenka’s abhorrent measures to stay in power. More than a 1,000 people were arrested on 8 November, some well-known environmentalists, lawyers and journalists among them.
Some call the series of powerful protests a revolution against the ‘last dictator of Europe – a man, who during his twenty-six years in power has built a stable authoritarian system, relying on a loyal parliament, judiciary, military and law enforcement.
