lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Belarus is the only country in Europe that still applies the death penalty. Sentences are carried out there in secret, without close relatives or even the condemned prisoner knowing the date or time in advance. Executed prisoners are also often buried without their closest relatives knowing. Mr Konovalov and Mr Kovalev were condemned in November on suspicion of very serious crimes. However, the fact that the evidence was disposed of after their sentence was handed down, their totally unfair trial, and numerous other factors are a worrying sign that the judicial system is warped. The dialogue between the EU and Belarus cannot make any progress if Belarus does not take steps towards democracy, human rights and the rule of law. As far as the death penalty is concerned, it is time for the country to bring its national legislation in line with the agreements it is party to, and to guarantee a fair and just legal procedure."@en1
