The Ministry of Information has updated its list of “extremist materials.”

The list now includes a YouTube channel featuring poems by Siаrhei Tsikhanouski.

The following have also been declared “extremist”:

Facebook accounts “Генадзь Коршунаў,” “Глеб Блэкович,” “Мария Гриц” and “Ekaterina Evchenko”;
Instagram accounts “Sufliadka” and “OfficeBLRinCZE”;
TikTok accounts “SweetLanaBy” and “ЖЫВЕ БЕЛАРУСЬ!!!!”.

Accusations of extremism are used in Belarus to persecute opponents of Lukashenka and combat dissent more broadly.
