March 4, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The Committee for State Security (KGB) on February 28 blacklisted the opposition people\u2019s embassies as an “extremist” group, according to the updated list on the interior ministry’s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The founders of online communities, administrators and other social media users who identify themselves as Belarusians abroad are engaged in extremist activities, the KGB charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KGB listed belarusabroad.org<\/em> and belaruscongress.org<\/em>, the Bie\u0142arusy Zamie\u017e\u017ea Telegram and YouTube channels as well as Al’jans Rassledovatelej Belarusi (Alliance of Belarus\u2019 Investigators) as communities affiliated with the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 12, the people’s embassies said hackers attacked belarusabroad.org<\/em>. No personal data leaks were recorded, but hackers reportedly gained access to passwords for administering the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dating back to 2020, the people’s embassies represents Belarusian volunteers and former Belarusian diplomats who resigned in protest against the 2020 rigged presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The embassies operate in more than 20 countries, advocating for Belarusians who cannot receive services from official diplomatic missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
