The U.S. State Department have condemned the detention of Belarus main
opposition leader Alexander Milinkevich.
Speaking at a briefing cited at the department's website, the State
Department Deputy Spokesman Adam Ereli called the detention of
Milinkevich and other opposition leaders "outrageous and
reprehensible." He said "unfortunately, these are only the latest
in an ongoing series of acts which -- against the citizens (of
Belarus) who are only attempting to exercise their basic human rights
and fundamental freedoms."
"We condemn these actions and we call on the authorities to
immediately release those detained and drop the charges against
them," Ereli said.
Milinkevich, opposition candidate at the presidential election in
Belarus, was sentenced to 15 days in jail a day after he led a protest
rally in the capital of Minsk that attracted around 10,000 people, one
of the largest turnouts in six weeks of demonstrations against the
President Alexander Lukashenko. Other opposition leaders, Vintsuk
Vyachorka, Alexander Bukhvostov, and Sergei Kalyakin, were also
detained.
"I would note that both we and the European Union have already
announced measures to hold accountable officials responsible for these
abuses. And we will continue working with our European partners to, I
think, maintain a united front in the face of this gross assault on
values that we all share," Ereli said.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and NATO Secretary General
Jaap de Hoop Scheffer also condemned Milinkevich's detention and
called for his release.
Speaking during a meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers in Sofia, Scheffer
quoted by Sofia News agency said "this is another demonstration of
anti-democratic behavior on behalf of the regime of Minks. I call on
the regime in Minsk to release Milinkevich immediately and to refrain
from this kind of actions in the future." "The Euro-Atlantic
community cannot accept this to happen in the heart of Europe," he
said.
Rice said that the United States "sincerely hopes that the Belarusian
government will accept the will of the international community that it
acts in accordance with accepted international principles when it comes
to the treatment of opposition."
The rally organized by Milinkevich marked the 20th anniversary of
Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Police said the demonstration had been
unlawful.
According to official information, provided by Belarus' Central
Electoral Commission, Milinkevich received six percent of the vote,
whereas Lukashenko received 83 percent. The opposition candidate said
after the elections he would not recognize the results and called for a
repeat vote.
