miniature #10 | Political prisoners in Belarus - the bind spot in Europe's media | 05.06.2009 | The radio report covers the situation of Belarusian citizens, who became affected by politically motivated persecution in their motherland. Six sequences are highlighting the aspects: political prisoners / prisoners of conscience / the death of Yana Palyakova / female civil society activists / the situation of repressed mothers / and journalists denied to work in Belarus. The situation
of females is given special attention to meet the significance of women
in the sphere of civil society and human rights defenders in Belarus.
Activists in these sectors are the main target of political persecution
– this is the key for to understand the intention of Belarusian
authorities: political persecution is politically motivated persecution
of the civil society. The actual situation in the first half of year
2009 confirms this conclusion: among three political prisoners and eleven
prisoners of consience, there is not a single politician of the democratic
opposition. |

20 years after the fall of the Berlin wall, Belarus remains the last European country, that is ruled in a pure soviet style by long term leader Aleksandr Lukashenko. Under the current authoritarian regime, Belarus is far away from any democratic standards. The divide to to standards is growing constantly - even when Belarusian the authorities (like the Foreign Minister Sergei Martinov) attempt to compare Belarus with democratic countries in Europe. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS is one indicator for democratic standards. According to the Freedom House Index 2008, Belarus is ranked at position 188 ... and only seven countries are ranked worse: Uzbekistan, Cuba, Eritrea, Lybia, Turkmenistan, Burma and North Korea. Even in year 2009, journalists reporting about Belarus have to hide their real names for to protect themselves from persecution by KGB and special forces. BEL_air counters such repressions with detailed researches on the ground - and by the international distribution of reports by international radio networks and web-based technologies. Additionally reports are forwarded to international decision makers. Narodny Albom 2009 is embedding the statements of persecuted Belarusian citizens into music and sounds of the 21st century. The title Narodny Albom is a reference to the famous original, which was released in 1997. | 60:00 min. | mp3 | 320 kb | 140 MB | free download mp3 |
