Sentencing of Yana Pinchuk in Belarus

Motion text

That this House notes the sentencing of Yana Pinchuk to 12 years in prison in Belarus; considers the secretive and pre-determined process through which she was sentenced to have been reminiscent of the worst times of the former Soviet Union; highlights Russia’s complicity in this case, having extradited Yana to Belarus last year; recognises that Yana Pinchuk is a political prisoner following the politically-motivated charges which led to her sentence; notes that the Viasna human rights organisation considers there to now be around 1,500 political prisoners in Belarus; and calls on the Lukashenka regime to release all political prisoners in the country.
