About Pozirk
Pozirk was launched by journalists who had worked for BelaPAN, Belarus’ oldest independent news agency, and Naviny.by, the country’s first online daily. Journalists and editors were forced to leave the country after the Committee for State Security (KGB) branded BelaPAN an extremist group in November 2021.
Like its predecessor, Pozirk is a news agency that publishes news, analysis, interviews and comments about developments in Belarus in Belarusian, Russian and English.
The Pozirk team adheres to the high standards of journalism set by BelaPAN, which led the Media IQ ranking 10 times in 2019 alone based on compliance with journalism standards.
