October 30, Pozirk<\/em>. <\/strong>Investigators have transferred journalist Ihar Ilja\u0161 to a pretrial detention center, and he is likely to face criminal charges, the Belarusian Association of Journalists reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ilja\u0161, the husband of imprisoned journalist Kaciaryna Andrejeva, was arrested on October 21 over interviews for media labeled by the government extremist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security forces released a video of Ilja\u0161 saying that he had worked for Polish-based Belsat <\/em>TV until July 2021, and later became a freelance reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 2021, Ilja\u0161 had been arrested for 10 days for alleged violent disorder, but the charge was dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His wife and her colleague Belsat TV<\/em> journalist Daryja \u010culcova were arrested in Minsk on November 15, 2020 while covering an opposition protest and sentenced to prison for alleged violent disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrejeva was later charged with high treason and given eight years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian government has equated journalism with extremism and prosecutes individuals for giving interviews to independent media outlets labeled “extremist” groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those serving prison sentences in connection with interviews include historian Ihar Mielnika\u016d, academic Natalla Dulina and military expert Jahor Lebiadok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
