Complaint about 5 Russian websites lodged to Belarus Prosecutor’s Office
Activist of the initiative group Dzeya and BPF Youth member Mikita Krasnakutski has asked the Public Prosecutor’s Office to check five Russian websites. These Internet resources are violating the norms of non-discrimination and inadmissibility of arousing national hostility, he believes. Krasnakutski has drawn attention to the following websites: stoletie.ru, zapadrus.su, politconservatism.ru, imperiyanews.ru and rumol.org.
Ha has found ‘open and unprincipled disparagement of his national dignity,” in some of the articles, Krasnakutski wrote in his complaint.
He mentioned Yuri Baranchik’s article Belarusian Way published on stoletie.ru in May 2014. Here is an extract from it: “Russians living in Belarus make up 60%-80% of the country’s citizens and they are ready to return their status of Russians like the inhabitants of Crimea and South East.”
The distribution of such texts on the Internet is arousing national hostility and may lead to destabilization and cause a split in the Belarusian society, Krasnakutski thinks.
The Ministry of Information blocked access to the website “Sputnik and Pogrom” containing similar articles on January 23, 2017.
