I was just privileged to meet with a number of activists, human rights defenders, lawyers,
journalists, NGO leaders from Belarus who are working so hard to restore a sense of
human rights, freedom and dignity to the Belarusian people. But it is absolutely inconceivable
that in Europe today, in December of 2011, the Lukashenko regime is behaving as it is
behaving, and therefore we all have a stake in speaking out even more forcefully, raising
even greater public concern in Europe, the United States and beyond to make it unequivocally
clear to the Lukashenko government that their behavior is unacceptable and they have to
begin to reflect and respect the aspirations of the people of Belarus.
