“It will be an important symbol of Belarusian cultural presence in one of the world’s most important cities, and a place where Belarusians will pray to God in the language of their ancestors.

28th December 2010
The Rada of the Belarusian Democratic Republic (the BNR Rada) expresses its concern regarding the brutal repressions against opposition activists, political and human rights organisations, as well as journalists of the independent mass media, which have been unfolding in Belarus in the wake of the so-called presidential “elections” of 19 December, and which are currently gaining in scale. These repressions have involved not only the activists themselves but also their family members.

RADA BNR APPLAUDS THE COURAGEOS ACT OF SIARHIEJ KAVALENKA
January, 16 2010
The Rada of the Belarusian Democratic Republic (BNR) in Exile applauds the courageous act of the Belarusian patriots in Vitebsk, who on January 7th raised the prohibited white-red-white flag to the top of the city’s Christmas tree, the tallest in the country. The BNR Rada demands the immediate release of Siarhiej Kavalenka, an activist of the Conservative Christian Party of BPF who was arrested for this act.
1. The Executive Council of the Rada of the Belarusian Democratic Republic in Exile (BNR Rada) having considered the 19 March 2006 presidential elections in Belarus as well as the preceding and subsequent events, and noting in particular that
the nomination of Alexander Lukashenka for presidency for the third term was unconstitutional and no democratic legitimacy had been secured for a revision of that norm;
in the course of the presidential campaign the incumbent regime effectively denied the electorate access to information necessary for making a free and informed choice;
the “elections” that took place on 19 March 2006 were neither free nor fair, and although the authenticity of the figures released has not been supported by any evidence, the results were forced on society solely by application of massive police violence; hereby concludes and declares that Alexander Lukashenka shall not be regarded as occupying the position of the President of Belarus legitimately, and therefore the office of the head of state in Belarus shall be regarded as usurped.
