MINSK, 14 August (BelTA) – The Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus (FTUB) calls on everyone to stop violence and come to a peaceful dialogue for the future of Belarus, the FTUB says in its statement, BelTA has learned.
“The people who go out and gather at the factories and plants are concerned with the rising tensions and the situation with safety on the streets of our cities. The Federation of Trade Unions receives numerous appeals from labor collectives to call on everyone to stop the violence, not to provoke conflicts, to preserve peace in our country. Today, people want their children, relatives and colleagues who have been detained to be released as soon as possible. We are talking about those who found themselves in places where street rallies were held and did not violate public order. We share these calls and insist that the law enforcement agencies release these people as soon as possible and conduct an open and objective investigation in each case,” said the FTUB.
The Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus will provide any necessary assistance, be it legal, psychological and financial to those in a difficult situation. “We urge everyone to stop the violence and come to a peaceful dialogue for the sake of the future of each of us and our Belarus,” the statement reads.
