Official reasons
- Aliaksandr Astreika was the former Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Brest Oblast Executive Committee and Major General of Police. In his former role as Department Head, Astreika was responsible for the actions of police officers in Brest, including those of the Criminal Police and Public Security Police (which includes the OMON riot police unit). Astreika is therefore responsible for the serious human rights violations carried out by police officers in Brest following the election of 9 August 2020, in particular arbitrary arrests and ill‐treatment of peaceful demonstrators.
