The Ministry of Information blocked access to the website of the Belarusian-language intellectual magazine ARCHE Pachatak. The agency cited the reposting of extremist materials as the reason. «Arche.by has joined the considerable company of websites already blocked by the Ministry of Information. The noose is narrowing. They have killed/kicked the big ones out of the country, now they are going to kill the small and semi-living ones», — Valer Bulhakau, editor-in-chief of the media, wrote on Facebook.
