Not only police officers, but also members of their families are harassed on the phone and on social media.

“For the period from August 9, the data of about 300 police officers got into the Internet.

As for threats, insults and slander, more than 250 employees and their family members were subjected to pressure, ”said Andrei Parshin.

The family members of police officers are insulted, threats of reprisals and even rape, including in relation to children.

The Internal Security Department is taking measures to protect the families of the policemen.

“We provide assistance according to all criteria, we provide physical safety.

I do not envy those marginalized people who dare to poke their nose at our family members.

It will not seem enough, ”said Andrey Parshin.

Earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus opened 43 criminal cases due to threats of violence against police officers.
