Lithuania bans entry to former Belarusian policeman

February 9, Pozirk. Lithuania has banned former Belarusian policeman Alaksandar Macijevič from entering the country, a spokesman for a Lithuanian migration department official told BNS, citing security concerns.
Macijevič and his wife fled the Baltic country on January 31, according to the BelPol resistance group. The take off followed reports of his involvement in political reprisals in Belarus.
BelPol said Macijevič had served in the police since 2010 and held the rank of major. In 2020, he participated in the crackdown on peaceful protesters and even acted as a “victim” in a criminal case targeting protest participants, it said.
The man moved to Lithuania with his wife and reportedly worked as a window installer. BelPol shared its evidence with Lithuanian investigators.
Macijevič said he planned to “keep coming to Lithuania” but would not appeal a deportation order. He refused to comment on his past.
On February 1, Delfi reported that Lithuania revoked Macijevič’s residence permit.
