Index – Abroad – CNN asked Lukashenko about broken bones and braces

Thousands are being tortured in Belarusian prisons after the regime of Alexander Lukashenko brutally crushed post-election mass protests and resistance movements. It is assumed that the head of state, in order to beautify his image in the West, gave an interview to CNN, where he faced human rights torture.

The American radio reporter asked, do you apologize to the Belarusian people for the treatment they suffered at their own hands.

There is no reason to apologize

The president, who has been in office since 1994, said, adding that if he had intended to do so, he would have done so in Belarusian state media, not on CNN.

A CNN reporter quoted Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International as referring to reports of various cases of torture: broken bones, burn marks, beaten teeth, and beaten in humiliating positions. According to the latter organization, prisons became torture chambers in the post-Soviet country.

We don’t have any facilities like Guantanamo Bay or the bases that the United States and your country have set up in Eastern Europe… There are those in our detention centers on trial, and it’s no worse than the great. Detention center in Britain and the United States. I guarantee this

Lukashenko replied.

There was also no agreement on the Belarusian opposition leaders. While CNN confirmed that she was the real winner of the presidential election, Shvjatlana Cihanouszkaj The Belarusian president, who has been sitting for 10-15 years, was forced to flee the country, saying that they were not opposition but foreign-funded revolutionaries.

A US radio reporter casts doubt on allegations by Lithuania and Poland that Minsk deliberately diverted migrants to the EU border in retaliation for EU sanctions, which contributed to migration crisis to boost.

Do you think he is crazy? (…) All he said was a mockery and a product of imagination

Lukashenko responded to the accusations.
