The MEP calls on the International Criminal Court to consider an arrest warrant for \u0141uka\u0161enka, similar to arrest warrants issued for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Children\u2019s Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also urges the EU to include Russia and Belarus in the EU\u2019s list of high-risk countries in terms of money laundering and the financing of terrorism, noting a need for a register of persons &#8220;linked to the criminal \u0141uka\u0161enka regime who are enjoying the hospitality of EU countries.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report expresses solidarity with the Belarusians who assert their national identity and speak in Belarusian and urges Belarusian authorities to release all political prisoners and end violence, torture and politically-motivated persecution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 4,\u00a0Pozirk.\u00a0Lithuanian MEP and permanent rapporteur on Belarus Petras Au\u0161trevi\u010dius will present his report on Belarus at the plenary session of the European Parliament (EP) on September 12, the EP online schedule says.
