The Ministry of Information has updated its list of “extremist materials”. The channel “Чат “Белавуд говорит!” (“Chat ‘Belavud Speaks!'”) was added to the list following a ruling by the Partyzansky District Court of Minsk.

The following were also added to the list:

• Telegram resources “Склад Dapamoga” and “Кондратенко Виталий virus”,
• the book “Chronicle of State Villainy. What Happened to General Yury Zakharchenko, How and Why. – Minsk, 2005. – 215 pages” (the list apparently contains a typo and refers to missing former Belarusian Interior Minister Yury Zakharanka – Reform.news editor’s note),
• the private Viber chat “АДВОКАТЫ МГКА“,
• the TikTok account “BY_NOW”.

In Belarus, extremism charges are used to persecute opponents of Lukashenka and suppress dissent more broadly.
