Lukashenka says Khalip doesn’t want to emigrate

She reminded the state leader about his statement to the British journalists that Iryna Khalip was free and could leave the country if she wanted.


“Khalip refused to go. He is a martyr here, and there, in the United Kingdom, no one will need her, the same as her husband”, - Lukashenka has said.

The journalist also asked about the recent notorious cases, like the case of car parking guard Vasil Sarochyk.

“If a person participated in mass disturbances, there will be no indulgence for them”, - the state leader has said.

The journalist clarified: “You mean, if a person committed a crime, he can be treated like an animal?”

“Why animal? Animals are innocent, we should treat them well”.
