Statement by the Rada of the Belarusian Democratic Republic in Exile

The Rada of the Belarusian Democratic Republic (the BNR Rada) protests the extraordinary brutal actions perpetrated by the anti-Belarusian regime of Lukashenka against the participants of peaceful street protests in Miensk on 19 December 2010.

The BNR Rada calls on the leaders of the Western states not to recognise the results of the presidential elections in Belarus, as those were falsified by the officially declared “winner” Alaksandar Lukashanka who did not have the constitutional right to run for the presidential position.
