We are the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. Today, Tuesday, June 8, 2010, is our 21st meeting.
This afternoon we are hearing four witnesses from Belarus: Jaroslav Romanchuk, president of the Scientific Research Mises Center; Andrey Dmitriev, from the international office of the United Civil Party of Belarus; Anatoly Liabedzka, the chairman of the shadow government of the National Committee of United Democratic Forces of Belarus; and, finally, Vladimir Prokofyevich Neklyayev, director of the Forward Movement Research and Education Establishment of Belarus.
Maybe I can ask you to begin, Mr. Romanchuk.
