WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States on Wednesday imposed a fresh round of Belarus-related sanctions, targeting several entities and one person in a move that comes months after the August presidential election that the West says was rigged.
Washington blacklisted the Central Commission of the Republic of Belarus on Elections and Holding Republican Referenda, the Minsk Special Purpose Police Unit, the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of the Minsk City Executive Committee and KGB Alpha, as well as one person, according to the U.S. Treasury Department’s website.
