Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told foreign and Belarusian journalists in Minsk why the state made a conciliatory gesture towards those who fled Belarus after committing offenses, SIA refers to foreign media.
The question was about the so-called political prisoners: “Name any ‘political prisoner'. We will explain what he or she has done, why he or she is there. Today, the authorities are ready to forgive those who have committed a crime and fled abroad, but want to return to their homeland," Lukashenko said, adding that he does not want Belarusians to go to live in other countries and "have fun abroad".
The Belarussian leader separately noted that there is a shortage of doctors in neighboring Poland and that Belarusian specialists are needed there.
“Like many here, including Belarusian journalists, I personally don't want our compatriots to roam abroad, be it in England, or in France and even in Poland that has no one to work in hospitals. But our doctors from ‘bad Belarus' are in great demand there. I want them to live and work here. And we are ready to forgive what can be forgiven. This is our democratic dictatorship,” the president said.
A commission to handle applications of citizens wishing to return home was put up following a presidential decree. These people can reach out to the commission and get information about their legal and procedural status with law enforcement agencies.
