Mr Rosenthal's remarks were prompted by Sunday's flawed presidential elections and the subsequent violence against opposition protesters. The minister said that the arrests of hundreds of the protesters, including several presidential candidates was unacceptable. The whereabouts of many of the detainees are still unknown. Mr Rosenthal feels the EU should consider re-imposing travel restrictions on President Lukashenko and his associates, in addition to the financial sanctions already in place.
