LSP Song, Ukrainian Ambassador’s Instagram And Poznań Classified Ads Group Added To “Extremist Materials” List

The Ministry of Information has updated its list of “extremist materials.” By a decision of the Navapolatsk court dated Aug. 24, an “audio file (song) ‘Numbers’ by the band ‘LSP'” was added to the list.

Another addition is the Telegram channel “Classified Ads (Poznań) | Flea Market.” A court in Leninsky District of the city deemed its content extremist. The channel’s “Admin_post_bot” was also added to the list.

On Aug. 25, the Horki District Court deemed the Instagram account of  Yaroslav Chornohor, a Ukrainian Foreign Ministry ambassador-at-large responsible for contacts with Belarusian democratic forces, “extremist.”

The list was also expanded to include:

• the Telegram channels “DAR Volunteers Poland” and its “Contact with DAR” bot, “Atolino News” and its bot, “Anarchist Fighter (Reserve)” and its bot
• the Telegram account “infallible” and its logo, “depicting a flower with five petals of different colors bearing the following inscriptions: a green petal with the inscription ‘NON VIOLENCE,’ a pink petal with the inscription ‘TRUTH,’ a blue petal with the inscription ‘RIGHT CONDUCT,’ an orange petal with the inscription ‘PEACE,’ and a turquoise petal with the inscription ‘LOVE,’ with a yellow sun on a blue background at the center, containing a flower-shaped monument.”
• the Telegram bots “Contact Bot – Antijob.net,” “Work Reviews Bot – Antijob.net,” and “BR_bot”
• the Threads page “Vitalio Vitalini”
• the Instagram pages “vasilkov” and “maldzis.world” (MALDZIS)

The “extremist” designation is used in Belarus to persecute opponents of Lukashenka and dissent more broadly.
