Poland has imposed sanctions on a further 365 Belarusian citizens over the imprisonment of a journalist of Polish origin in Belarus, the interior ministry said on Monday, amid rising tensions between Warsaw and Minsk.
Poland has been an important refuge for opponents of authoritarian Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, and Warsaw has also become one of the staunchest supporters of Ukraine since Minsk's main ally Russia invaded that country last year.
On Friday a Belarusian court upheld an earlier decision to sentence journalist Andrzej Poczobut to eight years in prison.
