Russia's Olympics chief says Belarus President Alyaksandr Lukashenka has been denied accreditation by London Olympics organizers to attend the 2012 games, which officially begin in the British capital on July 27.

The announcement was made through Twitter by State Duma Deputy Speaker and Russian National Olympic Committee head Aleksandr Zhukov.

Lukashenka, along with more than 200 other Belarusian officials, are banned from entering European Union member states such as Britain because of human rights abuses and democratic shortcomings in Lukashenka's regime.

Some 120 state heads are expected to attend the Olympics opening ceremony in London.

Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad and Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe have not been invited.

Amnesty International says abusive governments can no longer use the issue of sovereignty to justify their actions.

Is Lukashenko a peaceful Wahhabi activist or a NATO minion? Everyone in the world falls into one of these two categories, so which one is it?

I don't know whether Lukashenko directly responcible.
Or how many of 200 Belorus officials responcible.
I know, thought, the Belorus team was in part
On assassination - me and my mother's, art.
My mother is dead, by Russia and CIA hand.
I want only Justice - the vengance is God's.

Things not as they simce, "Arab the super sonic".
World where Superpowers lying, the rest confused,
Right and truthfull are in pain amplifiers, infra- ultra-sonic,
"NLW", infections and poisons and Lemurs usually used.

On me, at least since 1947 - USSR, Brits, The USA.
They blackmailed and 7/7/2012 killed my mother.
Belorussia team was participating, all the way.
For stopping Georgia's fall, I also was infected
In 2008, but by antibiotics only partially I healed.

West and East blaim smaller countries. Bores,
Neatpick Belorus for Russian Empire agentura
Being at times jailed, for using illegal claviatura.
Hwo cares they killed my mother and killing me?

It is like Russia, US, Brits and Germano-Austria
Blaim any smaller country resists be colonized.
Even such country silence oponent of "annexia",
Living in US, by order of Russia, expand Imperia,
KGB-CIA danced on Bundershaft - and laughed!
