The Belarusian Presidential Guard is a law-enforcement body that was designed to protect the President of Belarus and other high ranking officials and officers. However, the United States State Department stated that the Presidential Guard is a secret police force under the control of President Alexander Lukashenko. The State Department in 1996 stated the guard was allowed to use force "against the President's political enemies with no judicial or legislative oversight."
