lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Belarus is not called Europe’s last dictatorship for nothing. In Belarus, you can go to prison for standing for election or expressing your opinion publicly. The last presidential elections were not democratic. Furthermore, the laws of Belarus do not permit freedom of assembly, let alone freedom of speech. Harassment of the opposition and of independent human rights groups have now become a chronic problem in the country. Workable democracy depends on the active participation of the opposition and of civil society in the political debate. Human rights are universal, inalienable and interdependent. Belarus has a responsibility to safeguard its citizens’ human rights and respect them. Belarus must be supported in every way possible in its development of workable democracy and human rights within the framework of the EU’s Eastern Partnership. The EU needs to consider targeted sanctions and their use, since civil society should not be penalised given the current situation in Belarus."@en1
