If your resources use integrations with external platforms (payment systems, foreign service APIs, external forms, and widgets), their operation may be unstable during the specified period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practical terms, the lockdown will probably affect a significant majority of websites physically hosted in Belarus. While it does not target every single website in the country, the nature of the &#8220;shared hosting&#8221; restriction means that it impacts the most common type of web hosting used by the vast majority of entities and individuals. Governmental agencies, banks, major state companies often use dedicated servers or private clouds, which are typically not reliant on &#8220;shared hosting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be no coincidence that access restrictions were timed to coincide with the opposition\u2019s major holiday, Freedom Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opponents of Alaksandr \u0141uka\u0161enka widely celebrate March 25, the anniversary of the proclamation of the independence of the 1918-1919 Belarusian National Republic (BNR), as Dje\u0144 Voli (Freedom Day). Celebrations of this kind have not been tolerated in Belarus since 2020, but Belarusians living in Lithuania, Poland, the United States and other countries mark Freedom Day with rallies, demonstrations, concerts and other events. Belarus\u2019 Investigative Committee has warned that \u201cextremist groups\u201d use the date for \u201cdiscrediting Belarus in the international arena,\u201d and that Belarusians taking part in their events will face criminal prosecution and property confiscation in their home country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 24, Pozirk.
