2017 hour we know bombing as far viber see councillors as to whether it could have been prevented. The European Union has condemned bellos government for what it calls repression of the people following the disappearance of 3 opposition activists kolesnik over who spoke in that many major rallies is missing after being taken away in a van by unidentified people shes been a Campaign Manager for opposition politicians and vocal supporter of svetlana to kind of sky up whos now in exile in lithuania. This is completely unacceptable to you it was very very clear in our statements that to be conceded the actions of the authorities in belarus unacceptable we are deeply concerned about the continued repression and intimidation of the population by unexplained our wrists very often arbitrarily our wrists our wrists of our us which are motivated politically this is unacceptable be call on all people who have been detained based on political reasons and arbitrarily to be deterred to be released immediately obama smiths monitoring developments from neighboring lithuania or any clearer about who it was that might have taken this woman. Police say they did not detain marionette america lets make over and couple of her supporters are also not been heard from either so its unclear where she is she has been seen since this morning when witnesses described being bundled into a minivan off the street she dropped the phone during the scuffle a poem was picked up by because somebody who was taking her way in the bomb and shes not been heard of since shes one of the most vocal opposition critics of Alexander Lukashenko is becoming an occupational hazard now where Opposition Leaders in belarus to be are there arrested jailed or taken off the streets just like that linus link of e. C. S. Lithuanias Foreign Ministry he said that he is the outgoing leadership in belarus cynically eliminating the opposition one by one he says what theyre doing is reminiscent of stalinist secret Police Methods so only good v. C. S. Will be welcoming the e. U. Statement today finally something youve been pushing for a stronger tone why thats so hell be happy to. There certainly seems to be a strength of opinion that it was at least something in some way connected with the look of anger government around us and alex on the look is likely to be going to moscow in the next few days the concern of course will be at least among the opposition what kind of impact this is likely to have on the protests well theres been a real step up in intimidate intimidation of what the Opposition Leaders of protesters on sunday evening we saw heavy handed policing as police moved in at the end of the protest seemingly picking out people at random we saw people being beaten on social media videos people being singled out beaten up a lot does not see deterred protested the numbers on sunday easily as at least as many as have been on the streets in the last 3 or 4 weeks at the peak of the protests certainly more than 100000 people we believe weve seen out on the streets. Is now reliant on what it roots in force a real turnaround but end because with all the election all this time he was saying vote for me ill defend you from russian its there its on our loop shankars been forced to turn to Vladimir Putin supports him without boots in support of the status quo shank its position will be much more bomb the. Sports reporting for us from neighboring lithuania over the recordset kano isabella his Opposition Leader whos campaigned alongside the media calexico she says its a typical tactic to look at his regime to try to intimidate leaders. There is no information hopefully she was detained for a couple of hours because its in our country in belarus you know its normal its not normal but in a good sense but its normal when the people get the thing without any explanations so i hope for you she will be released as soon as possible that was said in a way about her and below is the entire nation became leader. If you see at the leaders that we see the leaders everywhere now in the streets in the students in the universities in their effectiveness in the plan plans look at encouraging works this way every time they see a leader and they would like to isolate this is the uniform of the people from the nation and this is so cold as i said its normal in dollars thrice now but i hopefully i will question will not be able to do the 9500000 people over for dinner is because this simply it will not be any space in the prisons but unfortunately this is how does it look at increasing his work among the protests the us will never give up as you see has been almost one month since their peaceful protests the protests started and we believe for the similar question cleaves the better for the entire country for International Community of so and to my opinion that we will never give up the dollars the nation will never give up because he is no like there is no another way for the lot of us we want another president who want to see your elections and who want all political upon the political detainees to be released the sons passed bill so we will fight until the day and we believe to deliver to the lives the russian the racial will never allow any troops on the ability border or on dollars to and said look will find hide until the day and its always i refer to their peaceful protests a 4th of the Peaceful Demonstrations and they will fight until the question. They were sent to look us into gives ups gives up his power of the costs to quit the lot of people do not support the question to no longer he has not more than 50 percent of the votes will. So idea rabia has reduced the sentences of 8 people involved in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in turkey last year 5 of them were given the Death Penalty for the killing but that has been cut to 20 years in jail the others have been given sentences of between 7 to 10 years she was murdered by a Saudi Hit Team inside it is symbol consulate in 2018 saudi arabia refused all calls for the men to go on trial in turkey his action is executive director of the arab sent to washington d. C. Hes joining us now live by skype one would imagine the saudi arabia feels that this in some way draws a line under the incident but does it do that for the friends and family of. Certainly thats what the intention or the clear that actually statement by the Prosecutors Office in saudi arabia announced today discloses their case privately and publicly for ever. With all due respect to the prosecutor on this case certainly in terms of the political implications of the case and also in the private level in terms of the family and friends. First of all i think that way theres always this. Form of piecemeal justice going to justice if you will they are prosecuting. 8 people out of 21 or so we do not know who they are they allow International Supervision credible International Supervision to participate in the proceedings we need to see that the. Proceedings who are these people sentenced 5 of them to 20 years thats fine but then. Who issued the order i mean did that settle the fact that there was some high end that will go to shows involved in this case that. The problem a whole and most importantly where is the body of question they have investigated the perpetrators and found him guilty and sentenced them then i guess you know that they have found out what happened through special shoes body and that. Has not been revealed yet given the lack of transparency in this process that you have mentioned how significant is it that saudi arabias actually reduced the sentences of 8 of those people 5 of them had been given the Death Penalty as mentioned thats been cut to 20 years in jail. I think go the whole verdict seems to me to have been manipulated and i way they used or stayed behind believed according to practice practice in saudi arabia and the family has the right to commute sentence that family actually should as such they flourish and most probably on the rest i dont think it was done really knowing the family. Knowing d. So i was surprised by that and im sure this is basically the rationale for it you say the sentence however the sentences are by no i court into the Prosecutors Office and they have or so that remains to be seen. We appreciate your time thank you very much indeed for joining us on. Thank you.
