Belarus dismisses media reports of Russian film crew arrest

MINSK/MOSCOW, August 15 (RIA Novosti) - The Belarus Foreign Ministry dismissed emerging media reports on Saturday that a Russian film crew has been detained and deported from the capital Minsk.

"There is no official statement on the detention of any Russian journalists," a ministry press spokesperson said.

Media sources reported on Saturday that a crew from Russia's NTV channel had been detained and deported from Belarus last night over problems with their press accreditation.

NTV also said that their film crew was currently "in Moscow" and "everything is in order."
