The journalists of the Current Time TV channel were detained in Minsk. The security officials came for them to the Minsk hotel. The journalists were taken to the Moskovsky District police department of Minsk. «They deported us to Odessa. I think we'll be there in a couple of hours. And everyone was banned from entering the country. As far as I understand, the reason was the broadcast of the Current Time from yesterday.
