Information Ministry Designates Gods Tower Leader’s Facebook Page As “Extremist”

Belarus’s Ministry of Information has added the Facebook account of Uladzislau Navazhylau, frontman of the band Gods Tower, to its “Republican List of Extremist Materials”. The relevant decision was issued by the Leninski District Court of Brest on November 4.

It is worth recalling that extremism charges are used in Belarus to persecute opponents of Lukashenka and suppress dissent more broadly.
