Belarusian authorities have failed to investigate allegations of torture by protesters detained during anti-government demonstrations calling for the resignation of strongman Alexander Lukashenko, a report issued on January 27 by Amnesty International says.
The report says the victims, not the perpetrators, are being punished and called on the international community to take steps to deliver justice and hold the perpetrators accountable.
“We have repeatedly called for effective investigations to bring those responsible to justice, but there is little hope of that from a system that not only protects police with anonymity, but also encourages intimidation and further violence against victims and witnesses,” said Marie Struthers, Amnesty International’s director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia. ....

Belarusian university students have been forced to flee after attending protests and being expelled, persecuted, and imprisoned. Some have found their way to Lithuania. 
Yevgeniy Ignatsiyev might seem like an ordinary student who decided to pursue higher education in a foreign country. The 19-year-old from Minsk is now a student at the European Humanities University (EHU) in Vilnius. But Ignatsiyev is not a student on exchange – he is a student in exile.
Ignatsiyev is one of hundreds of students who have been expelled from higher education institutions in Belarus for opposing the country’s regime. Reacting to the mass repressions, major Lithuanian universities invited persecuted students to start or continue their education for free. Some 200 Belarusians took the offer. ....

Protests against Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus / AP
With opposition leader forced to flee to Lithuania, what does the future for Belarus hold? Radio Free Europe reports.
Ever since he came to power in 1994, Alexander Lukashenko has used controlled elections and other levers at his disposal to prolong his own power and to restrain or eliminate rivals in some cases literally, according to those who believe he was behind the unsolved disappearances of several opponents.
The August 9 presidential election that handed the 66-year-old former state-farm manager a sixth straight term was no exception, with the most viable potential challengers barred from the ballot and in some cases jailed all but one, in fact, who was apparently deemed no threat. ....

Gabrielius Landsbergis / E. Blaževič/LRT
How will Lithuania balance between Brussels and Poland? What can Vilnius do for the Belarusian opposition, and why did the reference to Taiwan disappear from the government s programme? Vaidotas Beniušis from the Baltic News Service (BNS) presses Lithuania s new Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis on these and other issues.
What will you do differently from your predecessor Linas Linkevičius?
Lithuania s foreign policy is based on consensus, and no big leaps should be expected between elections. [.] The fundamental principles – the transatlantic partnership, good relations with neighbours that respect the rule of law – remain in place. So does our approach to the threats we continue to face – our neighbours to the east and [countries] further to the east. ....
