RBC, 22.10.2004, Moscow 19:13:43.The lower house of Russian parliament has recognized the recent parliamentary elections and a referendum in Belarus as open and democratic. Russian deputies have adopted a corresponding statement today prepared by lawmakers who observed the voting.

The State Duma said in its statement that negative assessments of the elections by some US and European politicians as well as threats to impose discriminatory measures could be regarded as attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of the independent state and violation of the norms of international law.

This is whole Russia, their politicians, hypocrites and liars as always.

Examples of “objective” and “uncontrolled” voting rooms. Below protestants and special units of Byelorussian police which treated brutally even international reporters.

"The (Russian) State Duma said...that negative assessments of the elections by some US and European politicians as well as threats to impose discriminatory measures could be regarded as attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of the independent state..."

Birds of a feather flock together.

Gee, I wonder if the lady knows who it is she's supposed to vote for. I'm surprised Putin isn't on the wall as well.

From BBC News: "US President George W Bush responded to concerns about the election and referendum with the Belarus Democracy Act which provides for sanctions against Belarus....The act calls for the promotion of democracy by supplying aid to non-governmental organisations, helping to establish an independent media and a ban on US federal agencies from giving any financial aid to the country...Belarus foreign ministry spokesman Andrey Savinykh said Belarus could take measures against the US in retaliation."

Good for George Bush!!!

"Luka is the commie he don’t understand other gestures!"

Unless they are the usual suspects who can always be counted on to "support" Luka.

Do yourself a favor and sit this one out, Destro.

You're just going to get yourself in trouble here.

Gee, I wish I could live in Belarus...




'Little Stalin' tightens grip on Belarus
The Daily Telegraph ^ | October 16, 2004 | Julius Strauss

"Europe's nastiest regime is asking voters to hand the hardline president the right to rule for life, reports Julius Strauss in Minsk"

"At the headquarters of the United Civic Party in the Belarusian capital of Minsk, the black-and-white photographs of five men hang on the wall. Prominent critics of the ruling regime, they have all disappeared or died mysteriously."

I love trouble. Belarus is no paragon of virtue. But the protestors are no angels of freedom either.

PS: Sanctions on Belarus - only 11 million poor people - yet China - more repressive by far - we encourage free trade with? Even after the Tiananmen Square massacre? Spare me the hypocrisy.
