KGB adds three Belarusians, four Sudanese to list of terrorists

March 5, Pozirk. The Committee for State Security (KGB) added seven individuals to its list of “persons involved in terrorist activity,” among them three Belarusians and four Sudanese.
The Sudanese nationals were blacklisted because they appear on the United Nations Security Council’s sanctions list, while the terrorist designations applied to Belarusians are linked to convictions on terrorism-related charges that Belarusian authorities routinely use to persecute the opposition.
They are Hleb Rybčanka, Vital Abadzienka and Dźmitryj Kalinoŭski. Last month, all three were also branded as “extremists.”
Rights groups consider Abadzienka’s persecution to be politically motivated. He was reportedly convicted of alleged intentions to fight Russia alongside Ukrainian forces.
Currently, the official terrorist list features 1,424 names, including nearly 700 Belarusians, according to the Viasna Human Rights Center.
