[1] In 2011, after the wave of repressions that followed the 2010 presidential election, Oleg Proleskovsky became subject to an EU travel ban and asset freeze as part of a sanctions list of 208 individuals responsible for political repressions, electoral fraud and propaganda in Belarus.
According to the EU Council's decision,[3] Proleskovsky "has been one of the main sources and voices of state propaganda and ideological support for the regime.
He has been promoted to the position of Minister, and has since continued to be a vocal propagandist and supporter of the acts of the regime towards the democratic opposition and civil society."
