>Belarus President Aims to Head Off Opposition Movement


>Morning Edition, August 23, 2005 · The president of Belarus,
Alexander Lukashenko, bans pro-democracy groups from accepting money or technical assistance from outside the country. The strategy seems to be an effort to head off the kinds of popular democratic movements that toppled governments in Ukraine and Georgia.<

do any LBO legal eagles (or legal beagles) know: is it also illegal for those opposition groups inside the United States to receive money or technical assistance from outside the country?
