October 8, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Political analyst Alaksandar K\u0142asko\u016dski has said on social media that he received threats of physical violence, noting that an email urging him to commit suicide had been sent to Pozirk<\/em>\u2019s corporate email account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sender used Atomic Mail service to hide the IP address from recipients, he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journalist stressed that he had no intention of committing suicide or \u201cstopping criticizing certain individuals and phenomena.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K\u0142asko\u016dski comments on both the actions of the Belarusian authorities and those of some representatives of the pro-democracy forces in his analytical pieces. Last year, Belarusian authorities branded the journalist’s Facebook page and Telegram channel as \u201cextremist\u201d content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian interior ministry also blacklisted Pozirk<\/em> as an extremist group. Pozirk<\/em> was launched by members of Belarus\u2019 oldest independent news agency, BelaPAN<\/em>. In November 2021, Minsk outlawed BelaPAN <\/em>as an extremist group and later sentenced three of its staff to prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most independent media outlets have been branded extremist groups for political reasons in Belarus after the disputed 2020 presidential election. Belarusian authorities routinely use terrorism and extremism designations to silence critical voices. Association with an extremist group carries a penalty of two to seven years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
