Greek Catholic website Carkva branded extremist content

December 27, BPN. Carkva-gazeta.by, a Greek Catholic community’s website, and its social media have been branded extremist content and outlawed in Belarus.

Brest’s Leninski District Court made that ruling on December 14, said the information ministry, which keeps a register of banned media outlets.

Ihar Baranoŭski, editor of Carkva, was released on December 17 after serving a 15-day jail sentence for allegedly distributing “extremist content.”
