Ukraine: Ukrainian solidarity with Belarus
Members of the Ukrainian intelligentsia call to ban Belarusian violators of human rights from entering or travelling through the territory of Ukraine.
On 16 May, on the solidarity day with Belarus members of the Ukrainian intelligentsia presented an open letter to the President of Ukraine Viktor Jushenko, in which they call to ban Belarusian violators of human rights from entering or travelling through the territory of Ukraine.
?We don’t understand why individuals implicated in the rigging of elections, political killers and abductions in Belarus who are forbidden entry to the European Union, the USA and countries who are hoping to enter the EU, can travel freely around Ukraine and enjoy holidays at Crimean resorts?, the letter states.
Belarussian officials as President Lukashenko, the Head of the Pre-Election Headquarters Viktor Sheyman, the former Minister of Internal Affairs, Yury Sivakov, the Present Minister of Internal Affairs, Vladimir Naumov, and Dmitry Pavlichenko, a commander of the special forces are suspected of involvement in the abduction and murder of prominent Belarusian oppositional political and public figures in 1999-2001. Since April 2006 they are prevented from entering the member states of the EU, their accounts in EU are frozen.
