UK Statement of Reasons
Aliaksandr Astreika was the former Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Brest Oblast Executive Committee and Major General of Police. In his former role as Department Head, Astreika was responsible for the actions of police officers in Brest, including those of the Criminal Police and Public Security Police (which includes the OMON riot police unit).
