7/31/2019 Letter to European Parliament from Belorussians in
Exile

sanctions are likely to have the desired impact on policymaking
in Belarus if they
target representatives of Belorussian business elite actively
supporting the regime
(European Parliament - Directorate General For External Policies
- Impact of
Targeted Sanctions On Belarus). We agree with the European
Parliament experts
and believe that enlarging the list of politicians and
businesspeople can change thesituation in Belarus.
In order to change the political situation in Belarus, stop
political repression and
ensure a normal life for citizens of our country, we ask the
European Parliament to:
1. Strengthen economic sanctions against major Belorussian
companies, which
provide a significant share of the Lukashenko regimes foreign
currency.
2. Call on European companies that maintain commercial ties with
Belorussian
companies, whose earnings finance the regime, to break them
until the European
Union sees noticeable improvements in human rights in
Belarus.
3. Include Belarusian bureaucrats and businesspeople who support
the Lukashenko
regime on the blacklist and prevent them from entering the
European Union.
Belorussians in Exile hopes for the support of the European
Parliament and member
countries of the European Union in the fight for human rights
and political freedom in
Belarus.
