New law in Belarus: Lifetime immunity for Lukashenko
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has signed a bill granting himself and his family lifetime immunity.
The law, which stipulates that the President will become a permanent member of the upper house of the Belarusian Parliament after completing their term, will prevent Lukashenko from being prosecuted. The statement noted, "This will prevent leaders from being prosecuted for decisions made during their tenure as President."
According to a report by T24; under the new law signed by Lukashenko on Wednesday, Presidents and their families will be provided with lifetime protection funded by the state budget and will be given a residence upon the completion of their terms.
The new law also mandates that presidential candidates must be at least 40 years old and have resided in Belarus for 20 years. Those holding dual citizenship from another country will no longer be eligible to run for the country's highest office.
