"Human Rights Watch": Repressions continue in Belarus

“The Belarusian authorities have made activities of their political opposition impossible”. This is the conclusion stated in the annual report of an international human rights defending organization "Human Rights Watch". The document points at numerous obstacles created by the authorities and encountered by political parties, facts of beating and arrests of activists according to trumped-up accusations. The report also says that Belarus still has political prisoners.

Speaking about mass media, human rights defenders wrote that the Belarusian authorities were enhancing control on the Internet periodically blocking unwanted web sites.
