Members of the European Parliament are poised to increase their pressure for the international prosecution of Alexander Lukashenko

06-10-2021 17:43

Members of the European Parliament are poised to increase their pressure for the international prosecution of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on charges of involvement in mass torture and repressions, writes DW.

Lithuanian MEP Andrius Kubilius, a former prime minister, told the house in Strasbourg that “Lukashenko must be taken to the International Court of Justice”.

His position was supported by German Green MEP Sergey Lagodinsky, who said “legal proceedings for torture must be started against Lukashenko himself”.

That suggests the demand is likely to make it into a European Parliament resolution to be voted through the full house this Thursday.

The MEPs say President Lukashenko personally ordered the illegal arrest and torture of opposition demonstrators who protested the disputed presidential elections of August 2020 - at least 700 of those arrested remain in jail.
