The Belarusian leader continues her working visit to Poland. Today, the United Transitional Cabinet held a press conference in Warsaw regarding Lithuania’s referral of the Lukashenka regime’s crimes against humanity targeting Belarusians to the International Criminal Court. Pavel Latushka, Aleh Kulesha, and a representative of the Helsinki Committee joined Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.
In her speech, the Belarusian leader applauded the referral, adding that neighboring countries have suffered significantly from the regime’s actions and are determined to seek justice. She also called on other countries to support Lithuania and submit similar referrals.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “We fully support Lithuania and urge the governments of other countries to send official letters to the International Criminal Court calling for an investigation into the regime’s crimes. Yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland officially supported Lithuania and the referral it sent to the ICC. Poland, Lithuania, as well as Latvia and Ukraine, have suffered the most from the regime’s actions and are keen to see the dictator finally held accountable. Ukraine officially joined the Rome Statute a month ago. This means that if an investigation is launched or an arrest warrant is issued, Ukraine will also be obligated to comply with it. This is particularly important in the context of Lukashenka’s regime’s involvement in the war against Ukraine”.
