GS II: INTERNATIONAL – EUROPE
Baltic states sanction Lukashenko, 29 others
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia imposed travel bans on President Alexander Lukashenko, an ally of Moscow, and 29 other Belarusian officials, jumping into action to impose sanctions before the rest of the EU.
The three Baltic states have led calls for the West to take firmer action against Mr. Lukashenko, who is accused by opponents and the West of rigging an election to prolong his 26-year rule.
The sanctions are aimed at officials the three Baltic states accuse of vote rigging and playing a role in violence against protesters since the August 9 election.
Lukashenko threatened to cut off European transit routes across his country in retaliation against any sanctions.
