Babruisk colony director finds out from journalists he's on 'black list'

On October 30, it became known that Director of Babruisk penal colony #2 Alyaksandr Kakunin and his Deputy Yury Trutko had been added to EU 'black list'. Kakunin declined a comment to the Euroradio correspondent.

Euroradio: Do you know that your name has been added to the list of persons banned from entering the EU member states?



Kakunin: No. Please address to the Department of Corrections for comments.



Euroradio: Could you please comment upon the EU's decision? We appreciate your opinion.



Kakunin: I won't tell anything, address to the Department's press-office.

The day before it became known that the European Union had prolonged the sanctions against the Belarusian officials for a year. The Council of the EU took the corresponding decision on October 29.

The official document of the Council of the EU with the 'black list' is available here.
