"Last week we commemorated the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted under a resolution of the UN General Assembly on 10 December 1948.
The opposition in Belarus has attempted through a series of protests on the occasion of Human rights Day to draw attention to the violation of human rights in their country. Activists in Minsk marched in imitation prison clothing and carried placards bearing the slogan ‘I am a political prisoner’. At another location activists handed out to passers-by the text of the declaration and in the west of the country in the town of Grodno a demonstration took place. The Lukašenko regime responded to all opposition events by arresting the activists.
It is paradoxical that Belarus has signed a commitment to guarantee the human rights of its citizens. It is unacceptable for the international community that a signatory country forbids the dissemination of the actual text of the declaration."@en1
