“The highest form of deception of people and a travesty of democracy”: authorities convene the All-Belarusian Assembly, opposition considers its participants criminals
The sixth All-Belarusian People’s Assembly will be held on 11-12 February. Approximately 2,700 specially selected people from across the country will gather in the capital to discuss plans for socio-economic and socio-political development for the next five years. This is the official information. At the same time, it has not been reported whether an ordinary citizen can become a member of the assembly and participate and how.
In 2010, the opposition, represented by the poet and ex-presidential candidate Uladzimir Niakliayeu, tried to get into this forum, even collecting 25,000 signatures of citizens. But the attempt was unsuccessful.
The National Anti-Crisis Management insists that the participants of the 6th All-Belarusian Assembly must be included in the Unified Crime Registry. According to the National Anti-Crisis Management, the All-Belarusian Assembly is “the highest form of deception of people and a travesty of democracy” and “everyone should be held responsible for being complicit in legitimizing the regime’s crimes.”

Its main tasks are to participate in the discussion and development of proposals on the most pressing issues of the country’s development and to advise and make proposals on the work of the upper house of the Parliament. The decisions of the Council of Elders are advisory in nature.

Former Minister of Internal Affairs Karaieu on Tsikhanouski: “Such scum is the most dangerous of all”
The BYPOL initiative has published materials related to the detention of presidential candidate and current political prisoner Siarhei Tsikhanouski. Among other things, there is an audio recording of a man with a voice resembling that of the ex-Minister of Internal Affairs, Yury Karaieu, saying: “Such scum is the most dangerous of all. He is more dangerous than all these Babarykas. He is the destroyer of the state. There is no crime we can charge him with – we need to invent one and jail him for a long time. Let him stay there! Let him croak there!”
Tsikhanouski is not mentioned by name in the recording. However, the words “he, this scum, has seen much worse things in Russia” (it is a known fact that Tsikhanouski used to work in Russia) and “he returned and started saying things like ‘We will shake this government’” allow us to assume that the subject of the conversation was Siarhei Tsikhanouski.
