Last week, police officers visited relatives of at least four political emigres from Vitsyebsk, the Telegram channel “Vitsyebsk, I’m Out Walking! | Vitsyebsk News” reports.

“Four political emigres have been identified so far, but the operation may be much larger in scope. These appear to be planned search activities — similar mass visits took place in mid-April. As with the spring visits, the current questioning was accompanied by demands that some relatives provide DNA samples,” the channel notes.
