Czech Senate votes to condemn “violent and disproportionate” police crackdown in Belarus

The Senate of the Czech Republic voted in favour of a resolution that condemns the police crackdown on Belarusian protesters. The document, shared by Senate Speaker Miloš Vystrčil states that the police reaction is a “violent and evidently disproportionate” crackdown on Belarusian citizens who protested against “an undemocratic and unfair election”.

The Senate also called on the Czech government to “resolutely condemn the violence of President Lukashenko’s regime and conduct all possible steps to support civil freedoms in Belarus”.
