schema:articleBody	Belarus strongman Alexander Lukashenko has stripped the credentials of two former diplomats who supported opposition protests and fired his "inadequate" ambassador to Latvia, state-run news agency Belta has reported. Lukashenko claimed a sixth term in disputed presidential elections last month that sparked historic demonstrations against his decades-long rule and a brutal police crackdown. Pavel Latushko, a former envoy to France who had his status revoked in a presidential decree signed Wednesday according to Belta, emerged as a key opposition figure in the post-election protests. The second diplomat, Minsk's former ambassador to Slovakia Igor Leshchenya, spoke out in support of the demonstrators last month, saying he was "shocked by stories of torture and beatings," before resigning. The presidential orders said the two men lost their diplomatic rank "due to actions discrediting the state (diplomatic) service," Belta reported. The ex-Soviet country's authoritarian leader also fired the Belarusian ambassador to Latvia Vasily Markovich for "inadequate performance" of his official duties. The Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have blacklisted Lukashenko and 29 other high-ranking officials from the Belarusian election commission, ministries and police. The European Union is meanwhile preparing sanctions for later this month against those it holds responsible for rigging the vote and cracking down on protests. jbr/am/tgb
