As highlighted by the Special Rapporteur on Belarus in his report “systemic and systematic violations of human rights persist in the country, especially in the areas of due process, fair trial, and torture. The effective denial reported of the full enjoyment of the freedoms of expression and opinion, of peaceful assembly and of association is in itself indicative of the state of human rights in Belarus, as these rights are so often the pathway along which other civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights are exercised”.
