Unknown individuals are contacting former political prisoners from the @dapamoga_pzk account and offering them a form to fill out, allegedly to receive assistance, the Viasna human rights center reports.
According to human rights defenders, the account may be linked to Belarusian security forces. The unknown individuals may pose as employees of organizations and initiatives that provide assistance to political prisoners and former political prisoners, including Viasna.
Human rights defenders urge people not to share personal data with unknown individuals or fill out suspicious forms. They also recommend verifying accounts offering assistance through the official websites and pages of the respective organizations.
Viasna also noted that if someone contacts a person on behalf of an organization, the account’s affiliation can be verified via @ViasnaSOS. Human rights defenders ask people to report cases involving the distribution of such forms via @Viasnainfo on Telegram.
