On April 20, the telegram channel “Belarus of the Brain,” created by Ihar Losik, was declared extremist. But the relatives have no information whether it had any effect on Ihar’s case. Moreover, the censors deleted all the information from Ihar’s last letter to his relatives.
“I received letters from him, but the censor left only a blank card and a drawing from Ihar, so I can’t tell what Ihar wrote to me,” says Darya Losik.
