lpv:translated text	"Mr President, last year, the European Parliament adopted four resolutions on the topic of human rights violations in Belarus and the persecution of opposition activities, representatives of independent media and human rights defenders. Today, the subject of our debate is the trial of Dmitry Konovalov and Vladislav Kovalev, found guilty of participating in terrorist attacks in Vitebsk in 2005 and in Minsk in 2008 and 2010. There are many reasons for questioning proceedings during the trial in which they were both sentenced to death. Human rights organisations have regularly informed the public both of procedural irregularities and of the suspected use of torture to compel the men to admit their guilt. Belarus is the only country in Europe which still implements the death penalty. Our previous demands for the cessation of its use addressed to the Belarusian Government have so far remained unanswered. I therefore appeal again, this time in defence of the two prisoners, to refrain from implementing this sentence, since there are so many doubts surrounding their guilt, and since the announced verdict may deprive two innocent persons of their lives. The European Union should react strongly in such cases, using both specific diplomatic instruments and sanctions against officials or firms responsible for directly financing this regime."@en1
