Pavel Latushko, head of the Belarusian People’s Anti-Crisis Administration, board member of the opposition’s Coordination Council, and former culture minister, has filed a report against Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko with the Polish prosecution service, Latushko’s official Telegram channel said.
“Today, People’s Anti-Crisis Administration head Pavel Latushko filed a report with the prosecutor’s office in Warsaw. The report mentions threats of physical violence and preparations for an act of international terrorism,” it said.
“All of the regime’s reprisals against Belarusians and foreign citizens are unlawful. It is known not only about threats but also about preparations for real acts, up to physical elimination, aimed against democratic forces outside of Belarus. My report is symbolic, and I am filing it to protect all Belarusians persecuted abroad,” Latushko said.
“It’s important to inform the Polish prosecution authorities of threats of physical elimination and planned crimes on the part of Alexander Lukashenko, Nikolai Karpenkov, Ivan Tertel, Grigory Azarenko, Oleg Gaidukevich, and other officials and propagandists, aimed, among other things, at arranging my abduction in Poland and my illegal imprisonment,” the statement says.
“Another goal is to warn everyone who plans criminal deeds against Belarusian citizens that their deeds won’t be left without legal implications and they will be prosecuted in various states and line with the laws of those states,” Latushko said.
The Belarusian State Security Committee (KGB) put Latushko, former presidential candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, and 15 other Belarusian citizens on a list of organizations and individuals involved in terrorist activities in early April.
