Belarus regime targets exiled opposition; UN warns of passport trap

Belarusian authorities are reportedly extending repression to opposition activists and their families abroad, with the UN warning of a 'passport trap' that could strip exiled critics of their citizenship or travel documents. This escalates the regime's extraterritorial reach against dissidents, though the specific mechanisms and scale remain unclear. The move signals a hardening of Lukashenko's stance against exile communities, potentially deterring political opposition and affecting international diplomatic relations.
