Biden issues executive order targeting Belarusian regime
CNN
President Joe Biden issued a sweeping executive order Monday to target those in the Belarusian regime involved in the repression of human rights and democracy in the former Soviet state.
The executive order was released on the one year anniversary of Belarus' election, which was declared fraudulent by the United States and sparked widespread protests throughout the country. "One year ago today, the people of Belarus sought to make their voices heard and shape their own future through that most basic expression of democracy -- an election," Biden said in a statement Monday. "Rather than respect the clear will of the Belarusian people, the Lukashenka regime perpetrated election fraud, followed by a brutal campaign of repression to stifle dissent."More Related News
