Israel Asks Belarus Not to Extradite Lapshin to Baku

The Israeli Foreign Ministry representatives contacted the Belarusian authorities on the evening of December 18 to allow them a meeting with the blogger Alexander Lapshin, who was arrested in Minsk on request from Baku.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry also asked the Belarusian colleagues to prevent the extradition of an Israeli citizen Lapshin to Azerbaijan, where he is charged with anti-state calls and illegal border crossing.

Protecting the blogger, the official Jerusalem closed its eyes to his critical remarks against Israel. Recall that in a recent posting Lapshin, known by the network nickname puerrtto made it clear that he does not consider himself an Israeli and comes to the country just as a guest.

As for Azerbaijan, Baku is outraged with the publications by Lapshin, who traveled to Karabakh and campaigned in favor of the independence of the region, calling the nations to recognize Nagorno-Karabakh.   -02D-
