Opposition group names parliamentarians hit by Polish sanctions
December 29, BPN. The National Anti-Crisis Management (NAM) has published the names of 11 Belarusian parliamentarians and one member of the House of Representatives Secretariat who are under Poland’s personal sanctions.
The list includes senators Dźmitryj Varaniuk, Kanstancin Drazdoŭski, Siarhiej Račkoŭ and Aleh Rumo, as well as house members Valeryj Varaniecki, Śviatłana Horval, Dzianis Karaś, Ivan Mamajka, Andrej Savinych, Siarhiej Ścielmašok and Ihar Taŭtyn.
A deputy head of the international cooperation department at the House of Representatives’ Secretariat, Hanna Siemianiuk, was also targeted.
NAM said these people were blacklisted for “violation of human rights, including multiple cases of persecution of Union of Poles in Belarus’ activists, the unlawful arrest of [Polish minority activists] Andrzej Poczobut and Andżelika Borys, and the regime’s other hostile actions against Poland.”
The open list is being regularly updated by the Polish authorities, NAM added.
