In the position of judge at the Minsk City Court, Piotr Arlou has represented the Lukashenka regime in numerous politically motivated trials and is responsible for the lengthy verdicts in absentia against several members of the democratic opposition; Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya (15 years), Pavel Latushka (18 years), and Volha Kavalkova, Maryia Maroz and Siarhei Dyleuski (12 years each). Piotr Arlou is also responsible for the politically motivated conduct of trial and verdicts against blogger Eduard Palchys (13 years of imprisonment) and journalist Katsiaryna Andreyeva (two years). These verdicts are part a systematic denial of, and punishment for, the exercise of freedom of expression by the Belarusian authorities. Piotr Arlou’s verdicts are examples of the systemic repression of dissent. He is therefore responsible for serious violations of human rights, the repression of civil society and democratic opposition, and activities that seriously undermine democracy and the rule of law in Belarus.
