Jörg Dornau, a member of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, is under scrutiny for allegedly exploiting political prisoners on his onion farm in Belarus. These prisoners, detained after the 2020 rigged elections and severe crackdown on opposition, are reportedly working under harsh conditions for low wages.
This revelation has sparked calls from Dutch MPs for the European Union to support over 1,340 political prisoners still detained in Belarus. Amid mounting tensions, an extraordinary European summit was convened, with Germany pledging to expand sanctions against Belarus.
While the AfD spokesman insists on the presumption of innocence for Dornau, the party faces criticism for its silence. This situation highlights the continued plight of political prisoners in Belarus, despite occasional releases by Lukashenko aimed at easing EU sanctions.
