A week earlier, authorities branded it an &#8220;extremist&#8221; group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, IneedHelpBY has not recorded any &#8220;system hacks and information leaks&#8221; that could expose its volunteers to danger, its head Filip Ha\u016dry\u0161a\u016d said on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that some detainees were asked questions about food parcels from INeedHelpBY. Most have been released as police have no evidence to prove their communication with the initiative, he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The main idea is that no one gets help personally from the initiative,&#8221; Ha\u016dry\u0161a\u016d said. &#8220;Belarusians in difficult financial situations receive help from their concerned compatriots, who want to help with food. That is, individuals help other individuals voluntarily with charitable intentions.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All assistance is not directly linked to INeedHelpBY, but to people, he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He urged followers based in Belarus to unfollow the INeedHelpBY social media, delete the initiative&#8217;s Telegram bot because of its &#8220;extremist&#8221; designation and contact support service to delete all personal data, if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Belarusian expats launched INeedHelpBY in 2020 to help reprisal victims buy food.
