March 29, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong>  The interior ministry has added 18 more names to its list of “persons involved in extremist activities,” taking their total to 3,932, the Viasna Human Rights Center reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New additions feature jailed Pavie\u0142 Ku\u010dynski, \u010cas\u0142a\u016d Kananovi\u010d and Nadzieja \u0141apcionak, convicted in criminal cases that human rights groups consider politically motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People placed on the list of individuals involved in extremist activities are prohibited from engaging in education activity, publishing, as well as from holding state positions and from doing military service, for five years after completing their sentences or criminal record annulment. Their financial transactions are subject to special monitoring. They are also banned from activities involving narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors, arms and ammunition and explosives, for five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities in Belarus have equated criticism, solidarity, advocacy, free media and free expression to extremism and terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
