BELARUSIAN LAWMAKERS END HUNGER STRIKE



Three lawmakers ended their hunger strike on 21 June, BelaPAN reported. Valery Fralou, Uladzimir Parfyanovich, and Syarhey Skrabets, members of the Respublica caucus in the Chamber of Representatives, began the protest on 3 June to call for changes to the country's Election Code and the release of jailed politician Mikhail Marynich. "We believe we have achieved certain results," Fralou told reporters, saying the protest helped consolidate opposition groups and focus public attention on a possible referendum that could extend President Alyaksandr Lukashenka's time in office. He also cited as a success the Chamber of Representatives' decision to debate on 22 June the Respublika caucus' proposed amendments to the Election Code.
