schema:articleBody	Britain and Canada on Wednesday called on Belarus to halt "appalling" raids on the homes and offices of journalists, rights defenders and trade union members, after dozens were targeted by security forces. In a joint statement, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and Canadian Foreign Minister Marc Garneau said Belarusian authorities must "immediately cease their campaign of violence and harassment against journalists, human rights defenders and civil society actors." "The persecution yesterday of human rights organisations and independent journalists across Belarus in targeted raids by the Belarusian authorities is appalling," the pair said. "This is a further assault on civil society and liberties in that country," they added, accusing the regime of President Alexander Lukashenko of "extraordinary oppression" of his country's citizens. Belarus was gripped by months of demonstrations against Lukashenko's rule after he claimed an overwhelming victory in an August election the opposition said was rigged. The authorities snuffed out the protest movement in the ex-Soviet country by detaining thousands of people in a crackdown that left at least four demonstrators dead and several independent journalists facing years behind bars. On Tuesday, law enforcement officers raided the homes of at least 25 people across the country, including the head of the Belarusian Association of Journalists, Andrei Bastunets. Britain and Canada last November had bestowed the first ever Media Freedom Award to the association for persevering in the face of crackdowns on media in Belarus. At the end of September, they'd also announced targeted sanctions against Belarusian officials, including Lukashenko, for the repression of the movement protesting the election. amc/bgs
