Russian Human Rights Activists: Putin Copies Lukashenka

They are sure Russia’s president wants to introduce Belarusian model of authoritarian rule.

Russian human rights defenders accused President Vladimir Putin of copying Aliaksandr Lukashenka's heavy-handed tactics of dealing with political opponents.

Speaking at a rally in Moscow, human rights activist Lev Ponomaryov said: “There is no political opposition in Minsk. Putin is also trying to crack down on the political opposition and stay in power in this way.”

Yury Dzhibladze, putting on a T-shirt bearing an image of Belarusian imprisoned human rights defender Alies Bialiacki, said that Mr. Putin was afraid of progress on democracy made by neighboring countries and chose dictators as his allies.

“Belarus is a country that Putin is most actively attempting to subdue and copy,” Mr. Dzhibladze said. “Flagrant human rights abuse is increasing in Belarus. At the same time, Belarus has one of the strongest civil societies among ex-Soviet states.”
