<\/div>\n

A bot with administrator rights has begun appearing in chats of prisoners\u2019 relatives that were designated an \u201cextremist formation\u201d yesterday.<\/p>\n

After each message, the bot \u201cGet My Id Bot|Get MyId\u201d posts messages allegedly showing the user\u2019s ID. The bot was spotted in the \u201cPenal Colony No. 8 Orsha Belarus\u201d chat and in two other chats. Before its appearance, a new user was added to the chats, and that user launched the bot, MAYDAY TEAM reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At this point, the chat for Shklou Penal Colony No. 17 and the chat for Orsha Penal Colony No. 8 have been almost entirely deleted. It also became known this morning that the chat for Women\u2019s Penal Colony No. 4 on Viber had been deleted.<\/p>\n

It should be recalled that the KGB designated as an \u201cextremist formation\u201d 10 Telegram chats, nine Viber chats and three VKontakte communities in which relatives of prisoners communicated.<\/p>\n
