Belarus’ Prosecutor General took part in international scientific and practical conference on fighting crime
Prosecutor General of Belarus Andrei Shved has taken part in the international scientific and practical conference – Problems of Fighting Crime and Training Personnel for Law Enforcement Agencies – held today at the Academy of the Interior Ministry of Belarus, sb.by reports with reference to the press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office
Andrei Shved spoke about the training of personnel in law enforcement agencies in Belarus, “The events of 2020 have shown how important it is for the inner core of everyone who stands in defence of the Motherland, in defence of law and order to be whole, correct and ideologically verified. These people must understand the real situation in which we live, while being aware of the challenges and threats faced by our state and society.”
He noted that attempts by extremists, fuelled by the ideas of Nazism, to carry out a coup in Belarus showed that people began to forget the tragic pages and lessons of history.
“We began to neglect the blessings achieved by the life and blood of our close people: peace, freedom, independence and the right to self-determination. Hostility and discord were incited on political and ideological grounds among the Belarusian youngsters, whose minds and hearts were primarily subjected to negative influence. Moreover, the crimes of Nazism were levelled out. Only due to the timely intervention of the state, this trend did not become widespread in Belarus,” asserted Andrei Shved.
The Prosecutor General did not ignore the topic of the investigation into the criminal case of the genocide of the Belarusian people, “The collected evidence convincingly indicates that mass extermination of people in the occupied territory of Belarus was put on stream and was carried out by barbaric methods and means: via executions and gallows, gas chambers and burning, famine and the spread of epidemics. The investigation aroused interest among all segments of our society, regardless of age and profession. New facts have also been discovered for professional historians and archivists.”
