US Congress to discuss Belarus elections
The Helsinki Commission at the US Congress is today scheduled to hold hearings on the parliamentary elections that will take place on September 28 in Belarus. The American lawmakers will discuss the situation with democracy and human rights as well as Belarus's actions to follow its OSCE obligations.
The release of three Bearusian political prisoners and the lack of "enthusiasm in supporting the Russian agression in Georgia" provides hope for the improvement of relations between Belarus, US and EU. However, despite this, no progress can be oserved in the field of democracy and human rights ahead of the elections, the press office of the US Congress said.
