Lepper's Suicide Doubtful in Belarus

Deputy chairman of the public association "Union of Poles in Belarus" Mieczyslaw Lysy said that Belarus didn't believe that the leader of the Polish Party "Self-Defense," Andrzej Lepper, had committed suicide. Vice-Chairman of the "Union of Poles in Belarus," personally acquainted with the deceased politician, said that suicide of Andrzej Lepper was a complete surprise for the majority of Belarusians.

Mieczyslaw Lysy last met with the leader of "Self-Defense" a week before the death of the Polish politician. According to Mieczyslaw Lysy, politician showed no signs of desperate mood or depression, BelTA informs.

"There're no sign that something could happen. Moreover, we're talking on the phone about ten o'clock on Thursday, and after bare phrases about the case for us to do, I asked: "How are you doing personally?" He replied: "Well, I'm absolutely all right." We agreed that he would call me on Friday," said Mieczyslaw Lysy. However, a message about his suicide expected deputy chairman of the "Union of Poles in Belarus" on Friday instead of a phone conversation with Andrzej Lepper.
 
Mieczyslaw Lysy noted that information about the circumstances of the death of the leader of "Self-Defense," came from Poland, is the most controversial. So, it was initially reported that Andrzej Lepper had been found shot dead in his office, then a different version of death was given, followed by changes of the place of the incident.

According to Mieczyslaw Lysy, suicide policy seems unlikely of him, because he "has proudly stood many years of persecution because of his principled position, including on Belarus issue." In addition, the deputy chairman of the "Union of Poles in Belarus" pointed out to some links and traces between the death of politics and the upcoming elections in Poland.

"The election date was announced on Thursday evening, while such a tragedy happened on Friday ... That is some visible coincidence is obvious," said Mieczyslaw Lysy, stressing that this is not the first suicide in the environment of the Party "Self-Defense."

Thus, in late June 2011, former adviser to the leader of "Self-Defense" Wieslaw Podgursky, who maintained close relations with this party and Andrzej Lepper, committed suicide.

As Telegraf previously reported, Andrzej Lepper was found dead in the Warsaw headquarters of the party on August 5. Police is inclined to the suicide version of the  politician death. The death of politics on the eve of parliamentary elections in Poland raised concerns of the Belarusian authorities. Foreign Ministry urged the Polish authorities to conduct "an objective and comprehensive investigation into the tragedy," involving international experts to "help remove any doubts about the objectivity of the conclusions of the investigation."
