Singer Aliaksei Khliastou has been detained. His wife reported this on Threads. He is being held at a temporary detention facility in Minsk.

In recent years, Khliastou had not been able to perform. He had been placed on “blacklists”. Against this backdrop, the singer started working as a taxi driver. His new job became known last year, after which he received a wave of support on social media.
