Peter Petrovich Miklashevich
Denial of free and fair elections In March 2020, Miklashevich said that the Constitutional Court had prepared amendments to the Constitution, but did not talk about them. This method of developing amendments by an unauthorized body is illegal and can be classified as abuse of power or official authority. On August 25, 2020, Miklashevich called the Coordination Council unconstitutional. It was noted that Miklashevich’s explanation applies to the All-Belarusian People’s Assembly, which Alexander Lukashenko called “one of the most important forms of direct democracy.” In February 2007, he was placed on the US list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. He was accused of repression against civil society and the democratic opposition, and rigging the 2006 presidential elections. The European Union also adopted corresponding sanctions. In February 2011, it was again included in the EU sanctions list. After the presidential elections and protests of 2020, he was included in the sanctions lists of the Baltic countries in September of the same year. On November 6, 2020, Peter Miklashevich was once again subject to personal sanctions from the European Union. On November 24, Albania, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, North Macedonia, Montenegro joined this package of EU sanctions, and on December 11, Switzerland. In addition, on November 6, Miklashevich came under sanctions from Great Britain and Canada. He pointed out that Lydia Ermoshina is above the law and the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus, if she considers the elections legal, then it is forbidden to challenge them.
