Presidential Election Fraud Charges Refused

The General Prosecutor of Belarus rejected the request of an opposition party to institute criminal proceedings against President Alexander Lukashenko for manipulating election results. Lukashenko stated in interviews that he ordered the results of the 2006 presidential elections changed from 93% in his favor to only 82%, in order to make the results more psychologically acceptable. The General Prosecutor's Office explained that documentary evidence of vote-rigging is lacking.
