UK and Canada impose sanctions on Belarus over "sham" election and human rights abuses.

The UK and Canada have imposed sanctions on Belarusian officials and defense companies in response to the recent "sham" presidential election, where Alexander Lukashenko claimed victory in his seventh term. The sanctions target individuals linked to human rights violations and companies supporting Russia's war in Ukraine. Western governments, including Australia, the EU, and New Zealand, condemn the election as fraudulent and call for the release of political prisoners.
