So downvotes because you think Australia's rules don't count because they're nicer and speak english? I'd venture to guess the official reasons behind both bans 'public good'. By which we mean the state.
Australia and other nations have implemented travel restrictions based on a global health emergency, restrictions which enjoy wide popular support. This is not a severe violation of human rights, and to try to call the two equivalent is really quite dishonest.
This makes no more sense than that. A dictator is closing borders as part of a program of suppression of dissent. This is materially different to health-related travel restrictions.
2) The covid situation is worse in Belarus than Australia
3) The covid situation in Australia is apparently enough to justify a multi-year ban on citizens leaving
I still don't see how it is not justifiable to ban citizens from leaving in Belarus because of the pandemic. Less stable politics means you have to morally let people die by having no measures against the pandemic?
Your argument seems to be based in guessing intentions within the politician's mind
In Australia it’s a genuine public health measure, even if you believe it misguided.
If you don’t see difference I feel sorry for you.
I don't believe Australia has ever banned all people from leaving due to government critics trying to escape a pending purge.
They're banning most people from leaving. Before this, Australia for more than a century banned a large portion of the population from even raising their own children.
