Deputy Prosecutor General of the Republic of Belarus

In his position of Deputy Prosecutor General, Aliaksei Stuk bears responsibility for politically motivated criminal cases against opposition, journalists, civil society and regular citizens. He is responsible for tightening the Prosecutor's Office's control of citizens' activities in localities and work places and is responsible for applying excessive legal responsibilities on participants in peaceful protests.

En sa qualité de Procureur général adjoint, Aliakseï Stouk porte la responsabilité de procédures pénales intentées pour des motifs politiques contre des membres de l’opposition, des journalistes, des membres de la société civile, et de simples citoyens. Il est responsable d’un resserrement du contrôle par le Parquet des activités des citoyens sur les lieux publics et sur les lieux de travail, ainsi que de l’application de sanctions légales démesurées aux participants à des manifestations pacifiques. Il a publiquement déclaré que le Parquet général œuvrerait à l’identification des associations de citoyens “illégales”et mettrait fin à leurs activités. Il est donc responsable de graves violations des droits de l’homme et de graves atteintes à l’état de droit, ainsi que de la répression de la société civile et de l’opposition démocratique.
