"I am deeply concerned about the politically motivated arrest of Mr Andrzej Poczobut, the Polish-Belarusian minority activist and journalist. This is not the first time that he has been imprisoned for so-called libel against the President. The deteriorating human rights situation is reflected in the repression of the national Polish minority, whose journalists are silenced, threatened, and intimidated, as well as the broader, long-standing pattern of judicial harassment against journalists, members of civil society, and human rights defenders in Belarus. Belarusian authorities have breached both national law and the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders and other instruments that Belarus has ratified. I urge Belarus to end arbitrary detentions and travel bans, to allow freedom of the media and freedom of expression, to allow media, opposition members, and human rights defenders to do their work. I remind the Belarusian authorities that political systems based on oppression and fear are not lasting. Fear leads to hate and hate cannot be the basis of a solid political construction, but it is the seed of destruction. Belarusian authorities, it is in your interest to stop oppression and fear."@en1
