Belarusian KGB Arrests Moderators of Social Network Groups Discussing Political Protest

The Belarusian special secret service, KGB, has arrested several administrators of internet social network groups that had been organized to discuss political activism in Belarus. Some of the online groups have more than 100,000 members in Belarus, which is presently in the midst of deep economic crisis. Those groups were primarily formed on the Russian social network vkontakte.ru, which is a popular Russian-language equivalent of Facebook. KGB agents reportedly gained access to administrative accounts of one of those groups and dissolved it.
