EU zet druk op Belarus

7 september 2007 | De EU is woedend over de nieuwe golf arrestaties van jongeren in Wit-Rusland. "We are dismayed at the reports of continued arrests of members of civil society for having asserted their civil and basic rights of expressing themselves. The repetition of politically motivated arrests which we have observed over the recent months is not an encouraging sign for Belarus' willingness to re-engage fully with the European Union", zegt Christiane Hohmann van de Commissie in Brussel.
