https://reform.news/en/instagram-account-of-belarusian-choir-in-poznan-declared-extremist-in-belarus/Belarus’s Ministry of Information has once again updated the “Republican List of Extremist Materials.” Among other items, the list now includes the Instagram account of a choir of Belarusians from Poznań. The ruling was issued by the court of the Zhabinka District in the Brest Region on October 14.
The list also includes:
- the “Сергей Спариш” (“Sergey Sparish”) account on Odnoklassniki;
- the “Jednaść2025” Telegram channel.
It should be noted that extremism charges are used in Belarus to persecute opponents of Lukashenka and suppress dissent more broadly.
