Attitude of Western Officials towards Political Prisoners in Belarus - Revealing Details in Investigation by Maria Petrashko

17 ноября 2022
Western propaganda not only makes up unbelievable fakes, but also creates an entire alternative reality. For example, ordinary protesters, who would be punished for breaking the law in any country, are turned into political prisoners. In public, they are supposedly being fiercely supported by European officials. But in reality, they don't care about the troublesome opposition members.

See the revealing details in Maria Petrashko's Euro-Orphan investigation. Watch it right now.

Hello, everybody! I'm Maria Petrashko — the Agency of TV News! I came across a seemingly noble news recently. 

They say that eight more European parliamentarians took Belarusian political prisoners as godchildren. All this is done under a fashionable hashtag, but the main thing with a lot of photos and publications in the resources paid for by the West.   But what do these "godparent" European officials really do? What is their guardianship or is it, as is customary for MEPs, a traditional window dressing?

I decided to check it out trying the role of an independent Belarusian human rights activist. Well, I am partial either.  

A phone call. No answer. Just beeps

One, two, three. We can't get through for the tenth time. And where is the notorious "openness" of European parliamentarians?

We call Axel Echeverria, the Social Democratic Party. Political prisoner - Roman Khvadziolka – 

Beeps. No answer.

I would like to say that messages to many deputies will be visible on the screen. The content is the same: we want to talk about the conditions of detention of your political prisoner. There are no answers or, at best, contact us by mail.

We decided to lose no time and contacted them by mail and through an official appeal to the Bundestag to a specific deputy, well, like Tessa Ganserer, for example! She herself insisted in our correspondence to contact not only by mail, but also through an official appeal to the Bundestag. Her supervisee, allegedly a "political" prisoner, Lyudmila Chekina, is a former general director of TUT.BY.! We wrote to her godmother that Lyudmila allegedly had problems with imprisonment. We should discuss this. Well, in general, there are enough problems to discuss and greet each other on New Year. The answer is silence. 

Well, I expected at least some interest, sympathy let alone the willingness to help. We did not get anything  of the kind from  the "guardians", parliamentarians of the German Bundestag, deputies of the European Parliament, the Swiss National Council, the Irish upper and lower houses, the Austrian National Council, representatives of the Swedish Riksdag, the Scottish Parliament, the Polish Sejm, and the National Assembly of France and Slovenia – all of them are united in their absolute indifference to the Belarusian "opposition" members.

Let's go for a trick. Well, maybe the problems of the protesters repel the godfather MEPs. And they prefer beautiful words, a beautiful picture and to present themselves kind, warm and fuzzy.  So we decided to propose them to send a New Year video post card.  It is necessary to prepare for such things in advance and to end greetings to"political prisoners". It turned out that MEPs have no time or are just too lazy even to congratulate the Belarusian "opposition" on New Year.

Phone calls

- Hello! I represent independent human rights activists in Belarus. I would like to talk to Kai Gehring about his defendant, godson, political prisoner of Belarus Rostislav Stefanovich. We are preparing New Yea video greetings for political prisoners and would like to invite Kai to say a few words of celebration to his godson. Do you understand?

-No

- What no?

- I need a name..

-Kai Gehring

- Kerlin?

- Kai Gehring

- Just a moment! I suppose we don’t have him on the list.

-Are you sure?

…..

Silence in Response

- Hello! I represent independent human rights activists in Belarus. I would like to talk to Jens Brandenburg

- Sorry, I'm not... Wait a minute, I have to... Come again, please.

-Yes. Can I talk to Jens Brandenburg?

- Here’s is not here right now, so.

- And when can I call him back?

- What kind of organization are you?  

- Independent human rights defenders of Belarus. We are preparing New Year video greetings for political prisoners. And Jens has a defendant, a "godson" and we wanted to invite him to congratulate him. Now it's just the preparation for the holidays.

- We'll call you back...

No one, of course, ever called back...

- Hello! I represent independent human rights activists in Belarus. I would like to talk to Thomas Halman  

- He is in the meeting, he's not available now. May be you can send us an e-mail?

- Yes, I'll send. But I want to talk about his defendant godson, a political prisoner of Belarus. We are preparing video greetings for the New Year for political prisoners and would like to invite Thomas to congratulate his ward and say a few words. Do you understand? Better on video.

 - It is better to send an e-mail first with the contact address and we will return to you. Thomas is very busy, he has no time at all, in the coming weeks, and then he will be on journey.

- But it's about his godson in prison, a political prisoner. There were problems there. We really wanted to talk about the state of affairs of political prisoners in Belarus. And we wanted to talk about it because there are some problems there. We'd like to talk, tell Thomas about it.

In general, Thomas does not care that his godson has some problems in prison ...

- Hello! I represent independent human rights activists in Belarus. I would you like to talk to Norbert Altencamp? 

- It's impossible He.. (unclear). Can you write an e-mail? 

- This information is about his defendant, godson in prison, political prisoner Viktor Panteleyev - a political activist in prison. And this is important information. It would be interesting, so we decided to call. Is there no chance to talk?

-No

They all, as one, disown their godchildren. I'm talking about problems there. They're like, we're busy. That is, there are more important things to do.

-Hello! I represent independent human rights defenders in Belarus. Can I please talk to Renata Alt? 

- It's impossible. Maybe e-mail us!

- No. I have information about her godson, political prisoner Vladimir Dudarov and there were problems there, so we decided to call you and tell you.

- Сan we call you back?

-Yes, May be I will call later.

- Please, perhaps in an hour.

As you can guess, in an hour no one answered us...

-Hello! I'd like to talk to Jürgen Hardt 

- Sorry, could you sent us an email, please. We have absolutely no time to speak. Please, send us an e-mail. Maybe we can check it.

Of course, we took the trouble. We sent e-mails to Thomas Halman, Renata Alt, Jürgen Hardt and Norbert Altencamp, as we were proposed in his office. We "will not forget and not to forgive", and they forgot ... There was no response. They forgot about those who were provoked to break the law through Western-paid telegram channels. They violated the law. They were properly punished, as it would happen in any country in the world. And in some places it would have been much worse.

But this is also a normal administrative practice: you violated the law, then serve your sentence, but Western curators decided to arrange a hype. They turned the protesters into political prisoners and publicly began to allegedly "take care of" them en masse. but, alas, it doesn't get any further than big words and social media postings.

But think about it, isn't it strange that none of the MEPs posted pictures of how they took care of real political prisoner Julian Assange, who just told the whole truth about Western politicians, and they made his life a living hell! But supporting Assange means recognizing the authoritarian trend and complete hypocrisy of the US political system, and this is the untouchable caste in the Western civilization. And their task is to discredit the normally functioning system of those who interfere, who is a competitor and who, being geographically located in the center of Europe, does not want to become a Colony of the collective West. 

It' s everyone's choice whether or not to fall for this cheap farce of European parliamentarians and their propaganda.  But blindly believing them is, in my opinion means simply not respecting yourself.
