Statement by Reporters Without Borders, 18 May 2010
Reporters Without Borders condemns the Belarus government’s treatment
of independent newspapers that cover social issues and politics, in
particular, its refusal since last autumn to issue eight of them with
the accreditation they need to operate legally.
Three editors– Vadzim Barshcheuski of the
Vitsebsk-based newspaper Nash Dom, Siarhei Balay
of the Navapolatsk-based Khimik: Dva Goroda and Uladzimir
Shyla of the Salihorsk-based Soligorsk Plus – requested
a joint meeting with deputy information minister Lilya Ananich on 12
May with the aim of finding out the reason for the government’s
refusals. Instead the minister received them one by one. The encounter
was “disappointing” and their attempts to argue their case were
unsuccessful, they said.

Statement by Reporters Without Borders, 29 April 2010
Reporters Without Borders condemns a senior police officer’s decision
to allow police computer experts to access the email and Skype instant
messaging accounts of several independent journalists as part of an
investigation prompted by a defamation suit by a former senior official
in the Committee for State Security (KGB).
Natallya Radzina of the Charter 97 website, Svyatlana
Kalinkina and Maryna Koktysh of the
opposition newspaper Narodnaya Volya and Iryna Khalip
of the Russian independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta were told of
the decision during interrogation yesterday. Their computers were seized
in raids on their homes and offices on 16 March, during which Radzina
was hit in the face.
