Belarus: 32 political prisoners are set to be released, some in critical health conditions. At the same time, the regime continues to arrest more people on politically motivated ground. The repression must stop. 🇪🇺 calls for the release of all political prisoners.
Belarus:🇪🇺is relieved that a group of political prisoners are being released & that after over 600 days incommunicado @by_Kalesnikava could finally meet her father. She must now be released.
We call on 🇧🇾 regime 2allow access to all political prisoners & immediately release them.
Belarus: 🇪🇺 welcomes the pardoning of more than 100 political prisoners since July. Still, we are alarmed by continued arbitrary detentions & call on the regime to stop the ongoing repression.Over 1300 political prisoners who are still kept in inhumane conditions must be released
4 years ago, Belarusians went to the polls with hope for democratic change. Instead they saw massive electoral fraud, a brutal crackdown, isolation and increasing dependence on Russia
We will continue to support civil society and democratic forces

Glad to have discussion with @ZelenskyyUA at the #NATOSummit about our bilateral cooperation in infrastructure, energy, and another joint session of the two governments.
Slovakia's continuing support for Ukraine is significant, including humanitarian assistance, de-mining & our defense industry, although we can no longer provide lethal aid from our military stocks.

Civilians, especially children, must not be victims of wars. 🇸🇰 condemns today´s missile attacks on Kyiv & other #Ukraine 🇺🇦cities that killed dozens & heavily damaged Kyiv’s renowned Okhmatdyt children’s hospital. #Slovakia supported this hospital w/humanitarian aid in the past.
Kolegovia zo SAV aet al. prinášajú nové výsledky ASMS, ktoré potvrdzujú trend. Prozápadná orientácia sa na Slovensku stáva v prieskumoch dominantnou, nepochybne aj vplyvom ideologickej polarizácie.
Embassy of the Slovak Republic in the Republic of Belarus thanks the @BelarusMFA for their good wishes of speedy recovery & rehabilitation to the Slovak PM Robert Fico and fully agrees with their position that acts of attack and violence have no place in the 21st century.
🇪🇺🇦🇹🇳🇱🇸🇰🇸🇪🇩🇪🇵🇱🇬🇧diplomats were at the court building today in solidarity with Ihar Karnei, other imprisoned journalists and all political prisoners in Belarus. The EU urges their immediate and unconditional release and effective rehabilitation. #StandWithBelarus
First #Czechoslovak republic was founded #OTD 105 YA. It was the culmination of efforts of both #Slovak & #Czech nations for #independence & common state. Its creation meant for 🇸🇰 huge development in statehood, economic & cultural progress & citizen rights.
Belarus: In continued politically motivated harassment @viktar_babaryka abaryka has been held incommunicado ever since his April hospitalisation. Today the 🇪🇺 & other diplomats followed the hearings at Supreme Court in Minsk, stood in solidarity w/him + other political prisoners
Belarus: After latest death sentence pronounced by Minsk regional court, 🇪🇺reaffirms its unequivocal opposition to the #deathpenalty in all circumstances & calls on 🇧🇾 to introduce a moratorium on the use of capital punishment in line with worldwide trend. https://t.co/FjH4bfGLys

Each August 23 we commemorate #BlackRibbonDay. We remember the victims of Stalinism and Nazism, who gave up their lives in the fight for freedom & democracy. We shall never forget their sacrifice. To honour their memories we must continue to guard against authoritarian regimes.
It’s been 3 years since people of #Belarus took to the streets & demanded the right to decide ✌🏻 their own future. Lukashenka answered by brutal force, continues to violate basic human rights. #Slovakia 🇸🇰 #StandWithBelarus 🤝 on its path to #democracy & freedom. @SlovakiaMFA
Great discussion w/ Belarusian democratic forces leader @Tsihanouskaya at @GLOBSEC in. #Slovakia does not forget about Belarusian people. They deserve our full support in their fight for democracy. @SlovakiaMFA 🇸🇰 continues to #StandWithBelarus. ✌🏻
I expressed our gratitude to 🇸🇰 Foreign Minister @MWlachovsky at #GLOBSEC2023 for his firm stance on #Belarus. We discussed the urgent need to impose new sanctions on Lukashenka's regime. Easing sanctions on potash now would be a disaster – it would embolden the regime to continue repressions & threats to regional security.
May 21st is Day of the political prisoner in #Belarus, established by @FreeViasna after death of Vitold Ashurak in prison #OTD 2 YA. Recently Mikalai Klimovich died in prison & others are imprisoned despite serious health issues. We urge freedom for all political prisoners in 🇧🇾!
#OTD 114YA Nicholas Winton,savior of 669 children from #Czechoslovakia during #Holocaust was born.His selflessness,compassion&unwavering commitment to #humanity are inspiring until these days.His legacy serves as reminder that one person can make #difference –even in harsh times.
