declared a national emergency to address political repression, 
electoral fraud, and public corruption in Belarus. The Order imposes 
economic sanctions on persons responsible for actions or policies that 
undermine democratic processes or institutions in Belarus. The 
President identified ten individuals as subject to the economic 
sanctions in the Annex to the Order.

property, and interests in property, that are in, or hereafter come 
within, the United States or the possession or control of United States 
persons for persons listed in the Annex and those persons determined by 
the Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of
