About 19,000 extremist crimes have been registered in Belarus since August 2020, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year alone, “we uncovered about 5,500 crimes, including from previous years (unauthorized protesting and rioting, financing extremist activities and insulting officials),” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, “many of those who committed a crime in 2020 are still in hiding.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, State Control Committee Chairman Vasil Hierasima\u016d told the National Assembly that 80 criminal cases related to extremism and terrorism funding were opened in 2023 “based on the files of financial investigation bodies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 2020, the regime of Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has often labeled disloyal groups of citizens as “extremist formations.” It has banned almost all independent media in Belarus and forced them into exile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reprisals, which began after the presidential election, continue to this day on an increasing scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
