Belorusskie Novosti: Ukrainian activists urge on Belarus to stop persecuting journalists

Activists of Ukraine's civil society group Stop Censorship and a campaign called New Citizen have called on the Belarusian government to stop persecuting journalists. "We, Ukrainian journalists and representatives of non-governmental organizations, demand releasing our Belarusian colleagues, stopping discrimination against and the hounding and intimidation of journalists and respecting the right to freely express one's views and to obtain, store and disseminate information," the appeal says. The appeal condemns KGB and police raids on journalists' homes and editorial offices and demands the immediate return of the seized equipment and memory devices.
