lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I very much concur with all those members who have urged the Belarusian regime to waive the death penalty for those two young men, Dmitry Konovalov and Vladislav Kovalev. Belarus is the only remaining country in Europe to continue to apply the death penalty, and, indeed, this will be the 400th time it has done so since the 1990s. Mind you, that is not the only stain on this country. Each week, I receive from concerned NGOs the names of Belarusian citizens who have been arrested and locked up for alleged opposition activities. The number of people ending up in prison is ever increasing and that is on top of all those participants in the December 2010 demonstrations who remain in custody. . I think, therefore I am. That is a dictum to which we adhere. If a regime refuses to allow you to think, that means it does not allow you to exist, either. Let us, as one, stand up for human rights, including those of the people in Belarus, so that we are able to both be and think."@en1
