Belarus web activist 'found hanged'

[Paul Rigby]

This from Therearenosunglasses:

This month Sting will perform a concert in the Minsk Arena.[/B] While Sting performs, the banned Belarus Free Theatre will perform “Discover Love” in an abandoned house on the other side of Minsk, their play about the abduction and disappearance of businessman, democrat, and foe of Lukashenko, Anatoly Krasovski. Unlike the audience at the approved Sting concert, those attending performances of the Belarus Free Theatre are subject to harassment by the KGB.

And presumably also subject to a bung or three from Soros, CIA and MI6, which is terribly found of dissident theatre, except, alas, in Britain.

And while Europe ignores the plight of the Belarussian people, the dictatorship is intensifying its efforts to stifle dissent. The KGB and intelligence forces are developing more subtle ways to target opponents. Opposition figures are accused of being Scientologists or threatened with criminal libel proceedings.

So unlike Germany or France, both of which are famously Scientology-friendly. And with good reason, of course, given the links with CIA.

The case of Oleg Bebenin should ring alarm bells across Europe. We cannot let Europe’s politicians sleep walk into a cosy accommodation with a tyrant. Belarus is Europe’s shame.

They walked only too consciously into mass murder in Iraq and Afghanistan, so why exactly should we expect Europe's pols to do any differently...anywhere?

Therearenosunglasses is full of the most frightful crap.
