March 20, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The Investigative Committee has filed extremism-related criminal charges against more than one hundred exiled activists, its press office reports citing spokesperson Siarhiej Kabakovi\u010d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian investigators have “full information about more than one hundred representatives of radical diasporas,” who are accused of setting up and participating in activities of an extremist group, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law enforcers have identified more than 30 real estate properties, which may be seized, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrej Stry\u017eak of the BySol Foundation said police have conducted searches at the homes of exiled activists, noting that the foundation is ready to help any victims of reprisals flee Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on Kabakovi\u010d\u2019s remarks, the crackdown targets the opposition\u2019s people\u2019s embassies and other diaspora organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 28, the Committee for State Security (KGB) blacklisted the opposition people\u2019s embassies as an \u201cextremist\u201d group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dating back to 2020, the people\u2019s embassies represent exiled Belarusians and are associated with former Belarusian diplomats who resigned in protest against vote rigging in the 2020 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
