LegalEntity:notes | OJSC Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ) is one of the biggest state-owned automotive manufacturers in Belarus. Lukashenka described it as “one of the most important industrial enterprises of the country”. It is a source of revenue for the Lukashenka regime. OJSC MAZ has offered its premises and equipment to stage a political rally in support of the regime. Furthermore, in the light of the involvement of Belarus in the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, MAZ delivers military trucks to the Russian Army, which are also deployed in the Ukrainian territory for military actions. Therefore, OJSC MAZ benefits from and supports the Lukashenka regime. Employees of OJSC MAZ who took part in strikes and peaceful protests in the aftermath of fraudulent elections of August 2020 in Belarus were intimidated and later laid off by the company’s management. A group of employees was locked indoors by OJSC MAZ to prevent them from joining the other protesters. Therefore, OJSC MAZ is responsible for the repression of civil society and supports the Lukashenka regime. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-46090 | ||||
