"Mr President, in mid-July, Belarus, the State located right at the very centre of our continent, pronounced a verdict on Alexander Kozulin, a leader of Belarusian Social Democratic Party who dared to challenge Alexander Lukashenko in the presidential election. He was sentenced to five and a half years of imprisonment. The country chairing the European Union has announced a declaration not only on behalf of 25 Member States, but of 12 other European states as well, calling for the immediate release of Alexander Kozulin and other political prisoners. I have just talked to Irina, the imprisoned man’s wife. She said that she was allowed to see her husband only once a month and that he suffered from worsened vision, heart weakness and flare-up of osteochondrosis. I am positive that following its recess, the European Parliament should react to the first conviction in Belarus, which was based not on a mock criminal act but on a political offence – for the so-called ‘incitement to mass disorder’. I think that the President of Parliament and the political groups should express their opinions, if possible. The regime in Minsk does not expect any sharp reactions from Europe to this and similar situations. This should not be the case."@en1
