Any leader who has to sign legislation stating they have lifelong immunity from prosecution, probably needs to be prosecuted for the rest of their long life.
Or, sometimes, their artificially truncated life
I wonder what other modern politicians are doing that, or are promising to do it if they get elected?
History tells us this always works.
Oh well in that case I grant myself immunity as well from any future prosecution.
That was easy!
I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!!
Very nice! That is a good one! /borat voice
Totally good and normal 👍
The behind the scenes in Belarus and Russia must be going worse than anyone knows if he feels the need to do this.
Well, Belarus was already almost in a state of revolution when the russian army came to save Lukachenko. Now the russian army is kinda busy with other stuff
He won’t be prosecuted in court anyway. It’s probably going to be a trial of the ratatatat-tat style like Ceaucescu’s. All this does is show how pathetic Lukashenko really is.
Totally the kinda stuff you do when you’ve been well behaved
Isn’t this more or less admission of wrongdoings and criminal activities from his part? Like those monopoly cards to skip the jail.
Nope. No reason. Just felt like giving himself a little immunity.
As a treat.
And that’s how assassination becomes a national hobby.
I mean there was this old Italian guy that tried that a few thousand years ago. I can’t remember how it ended.
Sounds like a sign of weakness, tbh.
He’s been in power for a very long time and hasn’t needed this before.
This, more than anything else, tells me Russia and it’s allies do not have rosey internal forecasts.
Russia and its* allies
I always think you’re doing the wrong job…
I always read their handle as “it’s no tits”.

Russia and its ally*
Don’t think they can count anybody other than Belarus as a proper ally

In the US, we just have a ‘gentleman’s agreement’.
The monkey paw grants your wish, but you die tonight.
This is so insane. When a country puts a guy like him behind them, there’s no law that can’t be changed to remove these kinds of protections and the circumstances at that point tend to exist where “the people” are perfectly OK changing even the most fundamental laws to facilitate getting rid of people like him permanently.
And if they can’t get rid of him by law and he’s overthrown, that much the more reason to stab him with 50 daggers.
True, but it still takes time to clean up the mess made by a former leader who goes off the rails.
Like any law, it can be rendered null and void by any following government, considering the following executive will not be a puppet.

Hopefully, but there is never a guarantee.
