September 11, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Belarus\u2019 interior ministry on September 11 added 19 names to its list of people it considers \u201cinvolved in extremist activities,\u201d taking the total to 6,906 entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five of the recently added individuals are described as convicts serving their sentences. They are Kaciaryna Mankievi\u010d, Dzianis Adamin, Valeryj Rynkievi\u010d, Arciom Mierkiel and Aksana Dzia\u010duk. Mankievi\u010d, a 37-year-old rock singer, currently lives abroad.

The interior ministry says that the sentences of the other new people on the list have not been completed, which means that they may be serving non-custodial terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People placed on the list of individuals involved in \u201cextremist\u201d activities are banned from any education- and publishing-related activity, as well as from holding state positions and from doing military service, for five years after completing their sentences or after the related conviction is deleted from the criminal record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their financial transactions are subject to close monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the crackdown on the 2020 post-election protests, authorities in Belarus equated criticism, solidarity, advocacy, the free media and free expression with extremism and terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
