Russian HR defender: Ban Ki-moon should have called Lukashenka
The UNO Secretary General should have asked the Belarusian state leader to postpone execution of Kanavalau and Kavalyou.
According to Chairman of the Russian civil
association "Regional civil initiative - right for life and civil
dignity" Victar Kohan-Yasny, this is a usual order accepted in the cases
of appealing against death sentences in the UNO's institutions.
Victar Kohan-Yasny: "In the situation with
Kanavalau and Kavalyou, the UNO Secretary General should have secretly called
Lukashenka and ask him to postpone execution of the death sentences. He should
have insisted, demanded. It is totally possible that this indeed happened, as
the phone calls of the UNO Secretary General are kept in secret".
This order is called "good offices", the human rights defender
clarifies. Euroradio couldn't confirm whether Ban
Ki-moon had indeed
called Alyaksandr Lukashenka yet.
