Expulsion of two British diplomats from Belarus: Foreign Secretary statement
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab gave the following statement on the expulsion of two British diplomats from Belarus.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:
The expulsion of two British diplomats for legitimately observing protests in Minsk is wholly unjustified. As independent reports show, this is part of a concerted campaign of harassment aimed at activists, media and now diplomats.
Instead of trying to bully those shining a light on his repression, Mr Lukashenko must agree to free and fair elections and enable those responsible for violence against demonstrators to be held to account.
