The UK has sanctioned 9 individuals and defence sector entities in Belarus in coordination with Canada, APA reports citing UK government website.
UK sanctions 6 individuals and 3 entities alongside Canada, in an immediate response to rigged presidential election in Belarus.
Sanctions target leaders of institutions responsible for serious human rights violations and companies in the Belarusian defence sector supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Action demonstrates Government’s commitment to working internationally to deter threats and protect national security, a foundation in the government’s Plan for Change.
The Chairman of the Belarusian Central Election Commission is among 9 individuals and entities designated by the UK today (Monday 27 January) in a fresh wave of sanctions in response to yesterday’s sham election in Belarus.
