Descriptions

Marat Markau is the Chairman of the Management Board of State-controlled TV channel ONT and the host of the “Markov: Nothing Personal” programme. In this position he has been willingly providing the Belarusian public with false information about the outcome of elections, protests and the repression perpetrated by the State authorities, and the circumstances of the forced landing of passenger flight FR4978 in Minsk airport without proper justification on 23 May 2021. He is directly responsible for the way in which the ONT channel presents information about the situation in the country, thus lending support to the authorities, including Lukashenka. He is therefore supporting the Lukashenka regime. Markov conducted the first forced interview with Raman Pratasevich, after Pratasevich was detained and according to numerous reports tortured by the Belarusian authorities. Markov also threatened and intimidated ONT workers who were striking in the wake of fraudulent 2020 presidential elections and authorities’ crackdown. He is therefore responsible for the repression of civil society and democratic opposition.

Marat Markau est le président du conseil d’administration de la chaîne de télévision d’État ONT et le présentateur de l’émission “Markov: Rien de personnel” (“Markov: Nothing Personal”). Dans le cadre de cette fonction, il a sciemment communiqué au public biélorusse de fausses informations sur les résultats électoraux, les manifestations et la répression perpétrée par les autorités de l’État, ainsi que sur les circonstances de l’atterrissage forcé du vol de passagers FR4978 à l’aéroport de Minsk sans justification valable le 23 mai 2021. Il est directement responsable de la façon dont la chaîne de télévision d’État ONT présente les informations sur la situation dans le pays, apportant ainsi un soutien aux autorités, y compris à Loukachenka. Il soutient donc le régime de Loukachenka. Markov a mené la première interview forcée de Raman Pratassevitch, après que Pratassevitch a été détenu et, selon de nombreux rapports, torturé par les autorités biélorusses. Markov a également menacé et intimidé des employés de la chaîne ONT qui faisaient grève à la suite du scrutin présidentiel frauduleux de 2020 et de la répression par les autorités. Il est donc responsable de la répression de la société civile et de l’opposition démocratique
