This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the official representative of the department Olga Chemodanova.
“My principled position is not to touch journalists! Except for the cases where they get between violators and the forces of law and order .. Taking this opportunity, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs once again appeals to journalists not to risk themselves at illegal street actions, where violent clashes are taking place, "Chemodanova quoted Karaeva as saying.
It is also noted that Karayev took personal control of the situation with journalists covering the protests.
During the protests in Belarus, numerous cases of forceful influence and detention of journalists, including Russian ones, were recorded.
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to Belarus Dmitry Mezentsev commented on the situation with the detention of Russian journalists in Belarus.
