"Mr President, the application of the death penalty, in its essence, falls short of fundamental human rights. Should Vladislav Kovalev and Dmitry Konovalov really be guilty of the crimes that they have been convicted for, then they should receive a proportional sentence, but they must not be executed.
I call on President Lukashenko to pardon both men and I call on Belarus to establish a moratorium on all death sentences and executions and eventually to abolish the death penalty in that country. It is appalling that in the 21st century, there is still a country in Europe which applies medieval punishments. Belarus, too, must reform from Byzantine autocracy to modern European democracy. President Lukashenko is running out of friends and he should take our well-founded demand very seriously."@en1
