Search warrant for independent mass media was signed by deputy Public Prosecutor of Minsk

The search in the office of Radio “Ratio” is already over. 4 system units, a notebook, discs, documents and cut-aways have been confiscated. A BAJ member Yuliya Kotskaya has been detained there. She is being delivered to an interrogation. The flat of a BAJ member Eduard Melnikau has also been searched (the journalist is abroad at the moment). The same things are happening in Babruisk, Baranavichy and probably in other Belarusian cities.
It is known that searches are conducted by KGB members, however, it is impossible to get any comments from the KGB information and public relations centre, noted “BelapAN”.

The press secretary of Minsk Region Office of Public Prosecutor Aleh Agafonau has refused to confirm or refute the information of BelaPAN that reports that the search warrant was signed by A.Stuk.
