EPP demands an urgent halt to political repression in Belarus
The EPP Political Assembly voted unanimously to accept the Belarus Christian Democratic Party as an observer member in its political family.
Following brutal arrests and the suppression of the opposition in Belarus, the EPP has condemned the crackdown against peaceful protests and has demanded an urgent halt to political repression.
All those detained on political grounds in Belarus must be released immediately, or else the EPP will raise the option of introducing targeted sanctions against all those responsible for the mass repression witnessed lately in Belarus.
