KGB agent gate-crashes online class of exiled university

December 20, Pozirk. The Committee for State Security (KGB) investigator Kanstancin Byčak interfered in an online class of the Warsaw-based Free Belarusian University on December 19.
It was the second similar incident after he gate-crashed another online seminar in Warsaw on November 18.
Byčak told the students that the KGB seeks the best for Belarus and is watching everyone, Alaksandar Milinkievič, a former opposition presidential candidate, said on Facebook.
The university ensures safety of lecturers and students during classes, but the agent could have hacked a student’s email or recruited a student who shared the link to the online class, Milinkievič told Pozirk.
“We have immediately started discussing what can be done to further strengthen security,” he said, noting the university had thwarted several attempts to hack its website.
The university engages in teaching and does “not prepare revolutions, coups or terrorist attacks,” he stressed.
Earlier this week, media reported that police searched Milinkievič’s countryside home in the Hrodna region.
He advises opposition leader Śviatłana Cichanoŭskaja on a strategy to bring Belarus closer to the European Union.
