The prosecutor&#8217;s office considered that Andrzej&#8217;s statements about the situation of the Polish population in Belarus were aimed at inciting ethnic hatred.

The prosecutor&#8217;s office said in a statement that the authors used expressions and figures of speech that contributed to inflaming tension in society, and incited hatred and hostility against government officials. Among such articles were, for example, an article about a possible International Criminal Tribunal for officials, as well as an interview with Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. The warning to this newspaper was issued for the second time, which threatens the closure of the publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information continues to be received about the registration of those convicted under &#171;political&#187; articles as prone to extremism.
