The US Foreign Office has imposed visa restrictions against representatives of the ruling regime of Belarus.

The US State Department has imposed visa restrictions against 25 people in Belarus, including against local MPs. This was reported by the press service of the US Foreign Ministry on Tuesday, January 17.

“The Lukashenka regime continues to repress the Belarusian people and their democratic aspirations, especially through the politically motivated trial without democratic opposition leader Sviatlana Tikhanovskaya and other democratic activists, as well as the baseless allegations. To respond to these human rights violations, the State Department announced visa restrictions against 25 people under Presidential Proclamation 8015 for their involvement in subverting democracy.

Visa restrictions have been imposed against representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus – for their role in adopting the death penalty law for people convicted of probable “terrorist attempts”.

The State Department added that such accusations are used “to suppress and intimidate the democratic opposition and civil society.”

Official Washington stressed that it will not stand aside as the regime continues to persecute and repress peaceful protesters, democratic opposition, journalists, unionists, activists, human rights activists and ordinary Belarusians.

As we reported earlier, the trial in absentia of opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya has begun in Belarus.
