answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2022 answer text <p>The UK condemns the role the Belarusian regime is playing in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Minister for Europe and North America summoned the Belarusian Ambassador on 25 February to make clear that the Lukashenko regime must end its support for Russia's illegal invasion and respect Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty in line with its international obligations. Furthermore, on 1 March, the Foreign Secretary launched a package of sanctions on those Belarusian individuals and organisations who have aided and abetted this reckless aggression. Individuals will be unable to travel to the UK and any UK-based assets will be frozen. We also plan to extend recent Russia sanctions to Belarus in due course. The Lukashenko regime will be made to feel the economic consequences for its support for Putin's attack on Ukraine.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/04/2022 15:03:11 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2022 answer text <p>We are aware of the case of Mikita Yemialyianau. There are over 1,000 political prisoners in Belarus. We remain deeply troubled about the intolerable prison conditions in which detainees are held in Belarus. We urge the authorities to release political prisoners, immediately and unconditionally, and have raised this both bilaterally and multilaterally. The UK has imposed over 100 sanctions in response to the fraudulent elections, human rights violations, and repression of civil society and democratic opposition in Belarus. Moreover, this repression takes place in the context of Belarus' unacceptable support for Russia's illegal and unprovoked attack against Ukraine.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 25/03/2022 14:31:39 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
