The resolution was passed with 110 votes in favor, none against and one abstention. It is not Ms Tikhanovskaya who is waiting for that gesture of recognition, but all Belarusian people who are being beaten and thrown into jails by their own government, said Labor MP Giedrius Surplys.
Conservative MP Irena Haase said Lithuania must support its neighbors. We must support Belarus democratic opposition and their aspirations.

Who else will support them if their neighbors donât? she said.
