In the story of the arrest of a journalist According to KP.RU, “Komsomolskaya Truth” by Gennady Mozheik is very strange. The man was detained in Belarus, but after flying to Russia and then trying to fly to a third country. Russian law enforcement agencies were able to take part in the incident – they had already developed this practice together with their Belarusian colleagues.
The editor-in-chief of the publication, Vladimir Sungorkin, noted that the journalist and his parents would be assisted. “We have hired several lawyers to defend our rapporteur's innocence.” We suspect it will be a long routine job. We also provide assistance to Gennady's parents, especially material assistance, “Sungorkin emphasized.
Mozheiko is now in a pre-trial detention center in Minsk. A journalist was prosecuted under the articles “Incitement to Racial, National or Religious Hatred” and “Insult to the Authorities”. So far, it is only known that the Belarusian authorities did not like the interview with former classmate Andrei Zeltser, who shot a KGB officer.
Meanwhile, the Komsomolskaya Pravda site in Belarus is still blocked.
