Over the last two weeks, the Belarus police have detained twice as many journalists as over the past year. It is the reporters livestreaming non-parasite rallies who are the main target of the security services. Belsat TV journalists and contributors have repeatedly come under fire as well. On March 18, the police staged a real hunt for Belsat reporters all over the country.
