April 16, Pozirk<\/em>. <\/strong>Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to promote democracy and defend human rights in Belarus during his meeting with Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 15, Canada sanctioned 21 persons responsible for ongoing human rights violations in Belarus since the fraudulent presidential election of 2020, he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trudeau condemned the detention of political prisoners by Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka’s regime and the ongoing attacks on freedom of the press, praising Cichano\u016dskaja’s efforts to defend the rights of Belarusians, his website said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cichano\u016dskaja urged Canada to cooperate closely with the opposition transition cabinet and stressed the need to oversee sanction implementation to prevent evasion attempts, her aide Franak Via\u010dorka told Pozirk<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also drew Trudeau’s attention to the production of weapons and their parts in Belarus, which are supplied to the Russian army that is waging war against Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician asked Canada as the future chair of G7 to invite Belarusian pro-democracy politicians to the G7 summit in 2025 and support Belarus’ opposition in the international organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cichano\u016dskaja visited Canada on April 14 and 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
