The directive, he said, also fails to spell out clearly that asylum seekers cannot be sent back to their countries of origin while waiting for the outcome of their appeals, thus removing the right to an effective remedy in the event that an error has been made.
The United States and the European Union have barred top Belarusian officials from entering their territories, and threatened tougher sanctions if next year's election is found to be neither free nor fair.
