Another journalist detained in Belarus — director of the newspaper «Belorusy i Rynok»

Accord­ing to Zalatykh’s wife, he is charged with «incite­ment of eth­nic hatred» (Art. 130 of the Crim­i­nal Code). His lap­top and oth­er devices were seized.

Andrei Alek­san­drovich and Yulia Kakhno were released from the KGB after inter­ro­ga­tion and are under a non-dis­clo­sure pledge.

Belorusy i Rynok is by far the last inde­pen­dent edi­tion issued in Belarus. It is a busi­ness news­pa­per main­ly cov­er­ing eco­nom­ic mat­ters.

Thus, 26 media rep­re­sen­ta­tives are cur­rent­ly behind bars in Belarus.
