http://www.data.minsk.by/belarusnews/062005/46.html

Extractions: DATE: 14 June 2005 Brussels, 14 June 2005 (ICFTU OnLine): The ILO Committee on the Application of Standards has denounced the persistence of serious violations of Convention 87 in Belarus, which is threatening the very survival of independent trade unions in the country. In the conclusions of its debate, the Committee on the Application of Standards of the International Labour Conference urged the Belarus government to implement all the recommendations formulated by the Commission of Enquiry, insisting that it must take urgent steps to ensure that Convention 87 is finally applied in law and in practice and that the independent unions of the Official Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus are allowed to form and operate freely, without any more government interference. The ICFTU welcomed the ILO Committee's decision to include its conclusions in a Special Paragraph devoted to the totally unacceptable situation still prevailing in Belarus concerning trade union rights violations. Notwithstanding, the ICFTU also expressed its "total bewilderment at the election of the Belarus government to the ILO Governing Body".

http://www.cpj.org/protests/99ltrs/Belarus29July99.html

Extractions: In recent months Your Excellency's government has pursued a press policy that is clearly designed to put independent media out of business by using criminal defamation statutes and manipulating civil libel law. CPJ views the latter practice as financial blackmail intended to bankrupt publications and individual journalists who dare to criticize government officials. On July 26, a Minsk court ordered the independent newspaper Belorusskaya Delovaya Gazeta to pay 2.1 billion Belarusian rubles (US$7,900) to Judge Nadzeya Chmara in compensation for "moral damages" allegedly inflicted on her by the newspaper . The court also ordered staff reporter Viktor Martynovych to pay Judge Chmara 100 million Belarusian rubles (US$500) in damages for his allegedly biased coverage of the politically-charged corruption trial of Vasil Starovoytau, director of the collective farm Rassvet, over which she presided. In a series of articles, Martynovych attempted to prove that Judge Chmara had followed government orders in issuing her guilty verdict against Staravoytau.

Extractions: The Chernobyl catastrophe gave me, as it did a great number of people, an enormous psychological shock. I considered that my duty as a doctor demands that I work towards a solution to the problems created by this catastrophe - Yury Bandazhevsky in an interview, April 2000 Professor Yury Bandazhevsky, nuclear scientist, former rector of the Gomel Medical Institute and author of numerous books on the effects of radioactive emissions on individuals, was arrested on 13 July 1999 on suspicion of bribery. He remains detained, serving a five year sentence, which is not due to expire until January 2006. His imprisonment has led to widespread outrage, with organisations both within Belarus and outside believing that he is being penalised for his criticism of the Belarus government's public health policy, and, probably most importantly, his claims that the radioactivity still present in the region around the site of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster has led to continuing, high levels of illness and disease, notably in children. International PEN shares concerns that Yuri Bandazhevsky is held in violation of his right to freedom of expression and is calling for his release. Members of Bandazhevsky's family were informed neither about the reasons for the arrest nor his whereabouts. Twenty-tree days later, Bandazhevsky was charged-in the absence of a lawyer-with receiving bribes from his students. According to Bandazhevsky, he was then placed in solitary confinement during which time he was subject to severe psychological pressure. He ate only once a day and had to sleep on the floor wrapping himself in newspapers for warmth. Bandazhevsky states that this treatment was aimed at making him plead guilty. As a result, Bandazhevsky lost about 20 kg weight and was hospitalized with stomach ulcers, hypertension, and depression.

Extractions: The European security organisation, the OSCE, has said it will continue to work with Belarus, despite accusations by President Lukasenko that it is meddling in internal affairs. In a statement, the OSCE said it was not involved in any activities which could be deemed illegal or unfriendly. Mr Lukashenka had accused its representatives of funding the opposition and recruiting agents to overthrow him. The OSCE, which is preparing to monitor presidential elections in September, said its main aim was to promote the creation of democratic institutions.

Extractions: Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has accused the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) of plotting to undermine his government. The accusation came after Western officials had expressed concern that Belarus's national elections, scheduled for 9 September, will not be free or fair. OSCE official Mr Lukashenko on Tuesday called OSCE official Hans-Georg Wick "the chief of the headquarters of the entire Belarusian opposition". The OSCE, of which Belarus is a member, hoped to send five observers to the former Soviet state on Wednesday, to start monitoring the candidate registration process and the election campaign. But their entry was delayed by the Belarus government.

The Belarus Trade Unions have been under persistent pressure of President Lukashenko and his Administration. The Presidential power structures have been trying to establish their own control over the election process and to replace independent trade union leaders. The Governmental pressure on the Belarus Trade Unions became stronger, in particular, on the eve of the FTUB Congress and the ILO Mission visit to the country. On September 27 , following a formal pretext, the Government closed down the FTUB bank account threatening to initiate criminal procedures against trade union leaders. In the context of the ongoing pressure a blockage of the FTUB office is not unlikely. Trade Unions of Russia and the rest of the world are expressing their support to the Belorussian Trade Unions through participating in the international campaign of letters of protest to the Administration of President Lukashenko ( www.trud.org/belarusprotest.htm

http://www.belarus.net/MassMedia/Newspaper/Svaboda/english/e134.htm

Extractions: Monday December 8, 1997 Journalists of SVABODA and some other independent newspapers held a meeting with their readers in the city of Maladecna. Unlike at a previous one in the city of Homel, neither police nor officials made troubles for the gathering. In Minsk, those having gathered for an international conference discussed how to create "freedom and prosperity from the Baltic to the Black Sea". Participants agreed that human rights should be the leading point in this process. Last Saturday "Sovetskaya Belorussia", the main state-owned newspaper in Belarus, began to write the words "the Head of the State" (regarding president Lukashenka) starting with block capitals, although this contradicts orthography rules. In Viciebsk, Orsa, Polack and Navapolack, the largest cities of Belarus Northern region, there will be military troops inspecting streets. The police fails to prevent crimes and more than 50% are not lead to courts there. A "round table" to be held in Minsk on December 10 may be a unique opportunity for high officials and leaders of the opposition youth movements to meet in a peaceful situation. The topic of this gathering is "The Struggle with Crime and Corruption: the Challenge faced". In the city of Mahilou, a worker was fired for she had refused to work overtime on her day-off. Free Trade Union (the alternative one to Belarusian Federation of Trade Unions which is strongly controlled by the government) appealed, and Ala Zarnasiek, a mother of three children, is now restored in her rights.

http://www.hrw.org/reports98/belarus/Blrus987-03.htm

Extractions: INTRODUCTION On March 15, 1994, the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Belarus adopted a new constitution that enshrined democratic values and contained important human rights protections. The 1994 constitution was hailed by the Belarusian government in its fourth periodic report on the implementation of its obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) as proof that "Belarus [had] opted definitively for democracy and respect for human rights." Four years later, it has become clear that the Belarus government has opted definitively to repress these very civic freedoms. As one consequence of this, while the Baltic States, Russia and Ukraine have all joined the Council of Europe, Belarus stands outside, its application for membership frozen. Yet rather than initiate reforms to gain admission, the Belarusian government under President Aleksandr Lukashenka has purposefully recreated some of the worst aspects of the Soviet era, with many of the hallmarks of Soviet-style repression. In the pre-perestroika Soviet Union, the right to freedoms of conscience, information and expression were severely restricted. The government used its monopoly on the media to disseminate carefully selected and censored information and propaganda. Attempts to express views that differed from official policy met with harsh repression. Similarly, freedom of association was seriously limited. Indeed, many forms of private initiative were not just actively discouraged but made largely impossible. In the prevailing atmosphere of intimidation and fear, only the most courageous dared publicly to challenge government policies. Discussion of policy matters took place behind closed doors by a small group of the Communist Party elite, while the Supreme Soviet, the parliament, was a rubber stamp institution where real discussion was not possible. Wherever the authorities thought it necessary, the judiciary administered justice de facto according to Communist Party instructions.

Russian and Belarusan officials criticized her actions and statements as interference. Rice, who has scorned the Belarus government as "the last dictatorship in Europe," said she arranged the session in the Lithuanian capital to find out how the United States and other countries could assist the opposition in winning greater political freedom. The Belarusan government "should know that their behavior is being watched. . . . This is not a dark corner in which things can go unobserved, uncommented on," she told reporters.
