Justifications:
Synesis LLC has provided the Belarusian authorities with a Kipod surveillance platform, which can search through and analyse video footage and employ facial recognition software, making the company responsible for the repression of civil society and democratic opposition by the state apparatus in Belarus. The Belarusian State Security Committee (KGB) and Ministry of Internal Affairs have been listed as users of a system created by Synesis. Synesis claims to have stopped providing the Belarusian authorities with the Kipod platform, but according to ByPOL reports Kipod is still used by the state securities agencies. Synesis is one of the residents of the Hi-Tech Park, created by a decree of Aliaksandr Lukashenka, and as such enjoys numerous benefits, including exemptions from income tax, VAT, offshore duty, customs duties and others. The company is therefore benefitting from its association with and supporting the Lukashenka regime.
