Use the excerpt to answer the question.

“Mr Lukashenko, who has been in power for 18 years, is banned from travelling to the United States and western Europe. He has been accused of torture and human rights abuses—he has thrown his opponents in prison, banned protests and restricted freedom of expression. . . . There is no presidential term limit here [Belarus] and the 1996 referendum consolidated Mr Lukashenko’s power. Not a single election in Belarus has been deemed as free or fair by the West. Not a single opposition candidate won a seat in the recent, parliamentary vote. Protests have been violently supressed.”
