In 2020, presidential candidate Valery Tsepkalo, one of Lukashenko's main rivals, suggested that all incumbent headquarters unite around two principles: New fair elections and the release of all political prisoners. Despite the betrayal of the interests and trust of the people by many involved in those events, Valery's team is one of the few who are keeping their promises and working to fulfil the main objectives of the 2020 election campaign.
ARTICLE 21Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives. Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country. The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures
If diplomatic instruments are insufficient to release prisoners of consequence, human rights activists, and trade union leaders, we support the calls of the Belarus Democratic Forum to issue a collective ultimatum to Alexander Lukashenko. If he refuses to release all political prisoners without exception, the EU member states should take extreme measures and block all cargo transit by rail from Belarus.
The Forum of Democratic Forces of Belarus (hereafter the Forum) is a public platform for seeking ideas and developing proposals on various issues of socio-economic and political development of the state. The initiative aims to develop horizontal relations and promote the principles of parliamentarism
