EU leaders impose more sanctions on Belarus president
European Union leaders today decided to personally punish Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko after an election widely seen as rigged – announcing “restrictions” against the authoritarian leader that would likely include a travel ban from Europe.
The EU decision in Brussels puts Lukashenko on the same EU blacklist as other leaders such as Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe and Burma’s military leaders, all of whom have a freeze on their European assets and visa bans against them.
