Russia Today: Dictator disqualified

Under this heading the international Russian pro-Kremlin channel published information that Lukashenko has not been allowed to London.

As thousands of guests, including celebrities and world leaders, flock to London for Friday’s Olympic opening ceremony, Aleksandr Lukashenko has been denied accreditation for the games.

The London Summer Olympics organizing committee has denied accreditation to Lukashenko, who also heads his country’s National Olympic Committee, Russia’s Olympic chief Aleksandr Zhukov wrote on his Twitter microblog.

The XXX Summer Olympic opening ceremony is expected to see a record number of heads of state: some 120 world leaders, along with Queen Elizabeth II will attend the show in the British capital. However, the British border will remain closed to Syria's Bashar al-Assad, Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and now Lukashenko.

Lukashenko faces EU sanctions over the brutal crackdown on opponents, human rights violations in Belarus and election fraud. Along with about 200 other Belarusian officials and businessmen, he is banned from entering the European Union.
