"Madam President, the opposition in Belarus is under significant pressure from the Lukashenko administration. Many civil rights activists are prohibited from travelling, the offices of organisations have been investigated, computers have been taken away and leaders have been detained. According to the latest information we have, for the fourth time now, the Belarusian Minister for Justice has rejected the application for the registration of the Christian Democracy party.
I support the extension of all sanctions as well as the demands to release political prisoners. I also wish to express my support for the proposal made by Ms Ojuland and Mr Šťastný that we should all appeal to the International Ice Hockey Federation, which is holding its next congress in Helsinki, for the arrangements for Belarus to host the games in 2014 to be cancelled. This is not a question of a boycott – boycotts always harm sport. The tournament should go ahead, but not in Belarus. It should not be made to boost Lukashenko’s prestige."@en1
