Bobruisky Kurier chief editor Anatol Sanatsenka detained

A week ago Ana­tol Sanat­sen­ka alleged­ly decid­ed to go on vaca­tion and stopped respond­ing to mes­sages. On the evening of 15 Sep­tem­ber, a mes­sage was answered from his account, his col­leage said, but there is no cer­tain­ty that it was he who texted. Espe­cial­ly since he refused to receive a call.

Bobruisky Kuri­er is an inde­pen­dent region­al news­pa­per. It was found­ed in 1991. In 2010, due to repres­sion, the pub­li­ca­tion of the print­ed edi­tion was stopped, but the news­pa­per con­tin­ued its work online. BK jour­nal­ists were repeat­ed­ly detained and tried for their pro­fes­sion­al activ­i­ties.
