One of the largest European political forces has called for the release of the Belarusian political prisoners.

The European People's Party (EPP) has responded to the situation in Belarus. This was stated by party president Donald Tusk after the EPP summit.

"The European People's Party calls on the Belarusian authorities to stop the unprecedented repression of the opposition and to release all political prisoners in Belarus. The EPP is monitoring the arrest of Sergei Tikhanovski, Pavel Severinets and others, who face extreme conditions in prison, risking their health.

We call on all European countries and EU institutions to react swiftly and decisively to stop repression in Belarus," - he said.
