I don't give a damn, says Lukashenko as EU threatens further sanctions
MINSK — Brussels has threatened Belarus with a fresh raft of sanctions after President Alexander Lukashenko looked certain to win his seventh consecutive election since 1994 — a vote broadly understood to be rigged in his favor given his iron rule over the country and complete control of its institutions."Today's sham election in Belarus has been neither free nor fair," EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said in a joint statement with Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos."The relentless and unprecedented repression of human rights, restrictions to political participation and access to independent media in Belarus, have deprived the electoral process of any legitimacy," the statement said.They urged the Belarusian government to release political prisoners,...
