“The ultimatum of the people is their chance to join the Belarusians. If you don’t agree to execute criminal warrants, don’t do it,” Cichanouskaya told the Telegram correspondence platform.
The Belarusian opposition leader has promised that “only those who have committed crimes will be brought personally to justice” and that “there will be no universal depravity.”
Ms. Cichanouskaya emphasized the need for a “new law enforcement system in Belarus” and suggested that her staff cooperate with the opposition and make a “public statement in support of their people.”
For more than two months there have been unprecedented protests in Belarus over the presidential elections on August 9, which were won by authoritarian leader Aliaksandr Lukashenko, who has ruled the country since 1994. The opposition and Western countries consider these elections they are rigged.
Under pressure from S. Cichanouskaja, who left Lithuania after the vote, she considers herself the winner of the elections. The 38-year-old political rookie decided to run for president when her husband, Siarhei Cichanouski, who also intended to challenge Lukashenko, was jailed.
The Belarusian government announced an international search for Ms. Cichanouskaya last week.
Cichanouskaya, for his part, issued a “people’s ultimatum” to the Minsk regime on January 13, threatening a national strike if the head of state did not resign, the violence against protesters stopped and political prisoners were not released. .
