Belarusian Malady Front youth group members sentenced

Clearly politically motivated campaign against members of Malady Front has ended by the former being sentenced to prison sentences. In accusing the two sentenced men, Alexandr Kozulin and Dimitri Dashkevich, of running an unregistered organization the Belarusian authorities have clearly showed a political interest in silencing the two in addition to complete disrespect to human rights, including right to a fair trial. Kozulin of course is a former presidential candidate - a fact that makes the political motivation obvious.

The European Union through the Finnish Presidency is asking for access to Kozulin in order to ascertain his situation. International monitors should be allowed to visit him and other political prisoners.
