Cichanouskaya’s headquarters and Barys Zvozskav’s Belarusian Human Rights House spoke at a remote press conference on Friday about legal actions against torture by Alexander Lukashenko’s regime.
The press conference was attended by the victim of the repressed Maxim Choroshin, the human rights representative of S. Cichanouskaya, Gari Pogonyailo, the staff representative Aliaksandras Dobrovolskis, the representative of the Belarusian Human Rights House Vasily Sankovich and the lawyer Giedrius Danelius .
“The militia beat me in the office, it lasted two hours and I lost consciousness twice. They put me on my own ball of blood. Then they gave him a protocol for me to sign. Only then did I call an ambulance and find myself in the hospital, “Choroshin said, noting that these outbreaks of violence were occurring with more people in Belarus from which he was able to escape.
It claims that on October 13, officials loyal to the regime loyal to the regime were brutally beaten.
“If someone thinks something like this is happening in the 21st century. In the heart of Europe, it is difficult. Belarus cannot face it alone, “added the victim. Named and disguised official who carried out these torture: Nikolai Karpenka.
One of the planned actions is to request the Lithuanian Prosecutor General’s Office to initiate an investigation into possible crimes against humanity, in this case under N. Karpenka.
Staff representative A. Dobrovolskis assured that Lithuanian law allows the initiation of legal prosecution of representatives of the regime, because investigations of crimes committed outside the Republic of Lithuania are not new. The case of the events of January 13 was also given as an example.
When asked by Delfi how Belarusian opponents envision the practical consequences of any court if Belarus does not extradite the regime’s representatives, A. Dobrovolski pointed out that extradition is not even necessary: an international search for the accused can be announced through from Interpol.
In addition, a coordination center is planned to be established in Vilnius, which will help lawyers coordinate actions and end the repression in Belarus. Similar actions can be brought in Germany, the Netherlands and Poland, and there may be many more actions.
