Telegram channel “Kamanda Latushki i Rukh ‘Za Svabodu’” declared “extremist”

Belarus’s Ministry of Information has updated its list of so-called “extremist materials.”

The new additions include:

• Telegram channels “Kamanda Latushki i Rukh ‘Za Svabodu’” and “Belarusy DMV”;
• The Facebook page of “Tavarystva Belaruskai Kultury ŭ Litve” (Society of Belarusian Culture in Lithuania);
• Instagram pages “Moladzewy Nastup” and “dzgolubeu”;
• A sticker pack titled “lukashenko_za**l.”*

Belarusian authorities routinely use “extremism” charges as a tool to silence political opponents and suppress dissent.
