Belarussian despot defies challengers

"A proposed tough new security bill makes it an offence, punishable by up to two years jail, to even train people to take part in street protests, a clause that appears intended to crack down on the sort of youth movements that were so prominent in the revolutions in Georgia and in Ukraine.

The loose wording of the bill means it could be used to jail anyone who has uttered any criticism of the president, for instance, or of the political, economic, or social state of the country.

Stepan Sukhorenko, the head of the KGB, as the Belarussian security service is still known, has already publicly accused two youth groups, the Youth Front and Zubr, of using foreign help to form their organisational core and prepare the ground for mass protests.

Determined to head off an "orange" - or any other colour - revolution, he said that Belarus had to defend itself against unprecedented pressure from abroad, in particular from the United States. He promised that the country's security services would prevent any disruption of the elections. Journalists are also in Mr Lukashenko's firing line. The legislation makes it an offence to call on foreign states, or organisations, to take measures detrimental to Belarus - even to publicise such appeals.

The European Union has been standing by helplessly as Belarus' 10 million people fall further outside the democratic orbit. Except for a condemnation of "the systematic and increasing repression of civil society and the political opposition and the independent media", the British-led EU presidency has been virtually silent on the country's slide into totalitarianism. "

---I came from Belarussia, Minsk. This is what SOCIALISM IS. Would anyone want to live there? Do you know why EU is silent. Because their government is the same Social scum that rules Belarussia, why would one scumbag critisize another and just draw attention to their own system and where it leads a decade from now. Critisizing Belarussia is like critisizing themselfs in the future. That's why they are silent, while the normal people living under this Socialist state, live like slaves.

Oh, and anyone that tries to reply how Socialism in Europe is different because it's ellected, go back and read the article, socialism in Belarussia is elected too. Sadam was elected. Makes you wonder. That's why liberalism is a mental disorder, look where it got those people, that's your future EU.
