The President of the European Parliament Jerzy Buzek has made an official statement in connection with the Belarusian authorities’ use of force. Buzek has condemned the “outrageous and shameful” attack on presidential candidate Nyaklyayeu. “This cowardly attack on a defenseless presidential candidate is outrageous and shameful. I was touched to hear from witnesses that Uladzimir Nyaklyayeu had been beaten by the police”, is said in Buzek’s statement.

The President of the European Parliament demanded that the Belarusian President  should immediately put an end to such practice and punish those responsible for it. “The citizens of Belarus deserve a democratic country.
