Position of the Pirate Party of Russia on the situation in the Union State of Russia and Republic of Belarus
We, the members and supporters of the Pirate Party of Russia, citizens of the Union State of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, condemn the actions of the authoritarian regime, which usurped the power by obvious manipulation of the voting results, changing the Constitution, using methods of intimidation of opposition leaders, using violence against the only legitimate source of power - the people.
Guided by Chapter I of the Treaty between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus of 08.12.1999 "On the Establishment of the Union State", we call for peaceful and democratic development of the brotherly peoples in accordance with the universally recognized principles and norms of international law, including the right to rebel against tyranny and oppression, guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
We consider the right of access to the Internet and the right to information to be basic human rights and fully condemn the deliberate restriction of information on actions against the people, the use of violence against members of the media and the deliberate harm to the infrastructure of the State through the disconnection of the Internet and other forms of communication.
We support the people of the Republic of Belarus in their quest to realize democratic rights and freedoms and guarantee to provide moral and technical support in case of direct request.
We believe that Alexander Lukashenko cannot be Chairman of the Supreme State Council of the Union State of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, and we call on the State Secretary of the Union State to convene an urgent meeting and raise the issue of appointing a person whom the people of the Republic of Belarus consider their true President.
We call upon the peoples of the world who support the path of democracy and remember the reason for the creation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to give a balanced assessment of the events taking place in the heart of Europe and to help the people of the Republic of Belarus to take one of the most important steps in their long, full of hopes and tragedies, history.
