The Interior Ministry has updated its list of individuals allegedly involved in extremist activity.
Another 24 names have been added, including five fighters of the Kalinouski Regiment who were recently sentenced in absentia in Minsk.
These include former deputy commander of the regiment and now representative of the United Transitional Cabinet on defense and national security Vadzim Kabanchuk, former commanders Pavel Shurmei and Dzianis Prokharau, fighter Aliaksei Kavalchuk, and instructor Aliaksei Nazarau.
In early March, they were sentenced in absentia to prison terms ranging from 12 to 25 years, along with substantial fines.
It should be noted that extremism-related charges in Belarus are widely used to target opponents of the authorities and dissent more broadly.
