October 3, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Foreign Minister Maksim Ry\u017eanko\u016d has dismissed Lithuania’s effort to bring Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka to justice as futile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One does not have to be a recognized expert in international law to understand that the charges are absurd and far-fetched, he told the Russian news agency RIA Novosti<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lithuanian government submitted a file on cross-border crimes against humanity, allegedly committed by \u0141uka\u0161enka and his officials, to the International Criminal Court\u2019s prosecutor on September 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The outgoing Lithuanian administration, which does not stop at using the dirtiest methods that violate international law, has decided to engage West-controlled judicial bodies, whose biased nature has long been obvious to everyone,” the minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that Minsk had been aware of Vilnius’ plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are sufficient grounds to believe that crimes against humanity have been committed against the civilian population of Belarus on the orders of high-ranking Belarusian political, law-enforcement and military officials, the referral to the ICC reads. These include deportation, persecution and other inhumane acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
