November 13, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The Committee for State Security (KGB) has added four individuals to its list of \u201cpersons involved in terrorist activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new additions are Vital Vasilko, Volha \u0141abudzieva, Siarhiej Va\u0142ad\u017ako and Pavie\u0142 Kiziuk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vasilko has been charged with calling for sanctions or \u201cother actions aimed at damaging national interests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other three individuals have been convicted on this charge. Kiziuk, a former ideology chief with the Western Operational Command\u2019s 74th Separate Communications Regiment, was previously reported to have been charged with high treason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Va\u0142ad\u017ako, a psychologist in the Pastavy district, Viciebsk region, was also accused of insulting Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka. He was sentenced to four years in prison in October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both men have been recognized as political prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case of \u0141abudzieva has not been reported before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the official \u201cterrorist\u201d list features 1,480 names, roughly half of them citizens of Belarus, according to the Viasna Human Rights Center. Most of the Belarusians were convicted on charges widely seen as politically motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terrorist designation requires banks to freeze the designated persons\u2019 accounts. The designees cannot conduct any wireless cash transactions through banks and the post office. They cannot receive money transfers in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
