Germany “sharply condemns show trial” against Belarusian human rights defenders

January 6, BPN. The German government “sharply condemns the politically motivated show trial against Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aleś Bialacki, as well as Valancin Stefanovič and Uładzimir Łabkovič,” the German foreign ministry has said on Twitter.

“They are on trial only because they defended human and civil rights,” it said.

The German government “demands that authorities in Minsk release all of the more than 1,400 political prisoners.” “The violence and repression against Belarusian civil society must stop,” the tweet reads.
