Lebedko Told to Stay Home

MINSK -- Belarus has banned United Civil Party leader Anatoly Lebedko from traveling abroad, the veteran opposition figure said, calling it a political move after he met U.S. President George Bush last year.

Lebedko, leader of one of several liberal and nationalist opposition parties that have tried to unite, said he received papers from the Interior Ministry banning him from travel abroad, which it said was in connection with a libel case against him.

"The travel ban is a political decision," he said late last week. (Reuters)
