Additional information:

The website of the regional online newspaper Bobruisky Kuryer was blocked. Babruysk.by is no longer accessible both in Belarus and abroad. The editorial office didn’t say what caused the problems with access to the website. At the same time, human rights activists learned that the editorial staff lost access to the administration system and the hosting control panel of Bobruisky Kuryer — these problems appeared a few days after the search and seizure of equipment from the editor-in-chief Anatol Sanatenka.
