Belarusian Information Ministry Adds More Items to “Extremist Materials” List

Belarus’s Ministry of Information has added more items to its list of “extremist materials”.

The list now includes:

• Telegram channels “РОЗОЧКА НОВОСТИ”, “Klub “Apora” and “roskvitKUS/ росквітKUS”;
• the Threads account “Анатолий Самович” (@tolyn_tolyanich);
• Telegram sticker sets “Grogermanischesreich Reich”, “The third reich by” and “Sanek & Adolf”.

It should be noted that accusations of extremism are used in Belarus to persecute opponents of Lukashenka and crack down on dissent more broadly.
