White House Calls for New Belarus Vote
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House on Monday called for new elections in Belarus after independent observers said the re-election of hard-line incumbent Alexander Lukashenko was a farce.
Earlier Monday, independent observers called the re-election of iron-fisted President Alexander Lukashenko "a farce" because his opponents were systematically intimidated and detained.
The European Union said it likely will impose financial and diplomatic sanctions on Belarus' top leaders in response.
