News taken, several journalists arrested in Belarus

Investigators have targeted at least five different editorials and their employees in all. The exact number of auditors and journalists questioned so far vary according to sources, some of them have been released after questioning.

According to Albanian Interior Ministry data, defendants over the past two years have intervened about 15,000 times in the database of news agency “BelTA” without paying for access by doing so illegally.

The director of “BelTA”, Irina Akalovic, in interview with a local newspaper stressed these accusations. We're just dealing with “years old”: “the people mentioned did not pay. They've acquired information by creating access via foreign data.” “accountable Be I TA” have complained that they no longer have access, Akalovic said further. That is why we have informed the authorities.

If journalists are proven guilty, they threaten sentences of up to two years in prison.
