UN Rights Chief Finds Belarusian Govt. Continuing Massive Crackdown on Opponents, with No Accountability for Perpetrators of Abuses

Belarus is crushing dissent and blocking victims of rights abuses from seeking justice, according to the United Nations, hitting out at a “situation of complete impunity” in the country.
In a new report published on Wednesday on the situation inside the authoritarian state, UN rights chief Michelle Bachelet found that the government was continuing its massive crackdown on opponents, the media and others, with no accountability for perpetrators of abuses.
“The examination not only lays bare the violations inflicted on people trying to exercise their fundamental human rights, but highlights the inability of victims to access justice,” Bachelet said in a statement.
