PACE rapporteur on Belarus comments on Sannikau’s case

Herkel has also noted that Adrei Sannikau’s whereabouts in prison were unknown for a certain period of time. He has also reminded about tortures in Belarusian prisons.

Let us remind you that the Council of Europe adopted the resolution and recommendations on the situation in Belarus on January 25. In particular, it was recommended that its members should join the EU sanctions until all political prisoners were released and acquitted in the country.
