BREAKING: Police raid TUT.BY offices in Minsk

Yulia Chernyavskaya, the wife of TUT.BY's co-founder Yury Zisser, wrote on Facebook:

“TUT. BY is being searched for the first time of its existence. I don't know the details yet. Employees are not allowed in. The editor-in-chief Marina Zolotova is reportedly being questioned. My husband went there to find out more.”

This morning, only pre-scheduled articles were published at 08:00, 08:30 and 09:00.

TUT.by was launched on 5 October 2000 and is one of the oldest Belarusian online media. TUT.by is the bigget news website with over 100 million page views per month.

Euroradio expresses solidarity with the colleagues and will follow the developments.
