U.S. Embassy Statement on Liquidation of IISEPS 15:48, 21/04/2005
The Embassy of the United States of America expresses its profound disappointment over the Belarusian Supreme Court’s April 15 decision to liquidate the Independent Institute of Socio-Economic and Political Studies (IISEPS), on what appear to be dubious legal grounds. By closing IISEPS, a respected organization devoted to professional sociological research and opinion polling, the Belarusian authorities have taken another step toward depriving Belarusian society of sources of independent thought and discourse. Once again, the Belarusian government has demonstrated a fundamental lack of regard for the principles of a democratic society to which it is committed to uphold as a member of the OSCE. The United States calls upon the Belarusian authorities to live up to its commitments to the OSCE and reverse this decision, which clearly violates those solemn commitments.
