“In recent years a lot has been done in the country due to the liberalization of legal norms. But events insist on the question: not too much [tuo] Were we fascinated? Laws must not only respond quickly to any violations, but also prevent potential threats. And that’s the most important of all, ”he said during a meeting to improve the law. Lukashenko was quoted by the state news agency BelTA.
According to the citizens’ proposals, the deputies have already included a number of necessary norms in the new codes on administrative responsibility and in the amendments to the criminal law, Lukashenko said.
“Is that enough, or is something more needed, for example in the field of counter-extremism, terrorism? Maybe we should also go back to the laws on mass events and other acts related to public safety? See how [daroma] abroad, in the same France, Germany and also in neighboring Russia? The answers to these questions must be provided by the organizations that are today at the forefront of action in the face of attempts to destabilize the situation in the country, ”Lukashenko emphasized.
According to him, it is not necessary to take care only of the details and departmental interests, but “to think about global issues, above all about the consequences for the country’s security.”
“It is important for us to decide what is really lacking in the law for a credible interpretation and prevention of any action against the State,” he said.
For the sixth month in a row, Belarus has been plagued by massive protests over the August 9 presidential elections, which have been declared the winners by authoritarian leader Lukashenko, who has ruled the country since 1994.
The opposition and Western democracies claim that these elections were rigged. The opposition views her victory as political rookie Sviatlan Cichanouskaya, who has replaced her imprisoned husband in the fight for the presidency.
The protesters are demanding the resignation of Lukashenko, the release of political prisoners and new elections. The European Union, for its part, has issued sanctions against Lukashenko and his allies.
Belarus’ human rights group Viasna said Wednesday that 220 political prisoners are currently being held in the country’s jails.
Defenders have called the actions of the Belarusian security forces “disproportionately brutal” during the protests, and the court’s rulings “disproportionately harsh and inappropriate”.
