It is not yet known what the journalist is accused of.

It is likely that an administrative trial against him will take place tomorrow, the BAJ added.

In June 2020, Dmitriy Suslav was already detained and punished by administrative arrest for 15 days for a repost on social networks.

As noted in the recent resolution of the European Parliament, adopted on March 15, Belarusian journalists remain among those who suffer the most from Lukashenka's regime.

To date, more than 30 journalists are in prisons;

at least 29 independent media were declared "extremist" and blocked by the authorities.

According to the Belarusian Association of Journalists, public discourse is almost completely stifled, and mass media are severely repressed.
