March 15, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Belarus should have a working Constitution that protects people instead of turning them into hostages of the system, says the Constitution Day address by Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pro-democracy forces have their vision of the basic law, which “guarantees Belarusians the observance of their rights and freedoms,” she noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician urged Belarusians to join a discussion of a draft Constitution on the New Belarus application and send their ideas to constitution@tsikhanouskaya.org or @AskOffice_Bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Only together we can build a country where human rights are not just declared on paper but are implemented in practice,” Cichano\u016dskaja stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka described the current Constitution as “a truly people’s document” in his Constitution Day statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus adopted its first Constitution in 1994, three years after gaining independence from the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
