Polish Journalist Arrested in Belarus

Andrzej Poczobut, Belarus correspondent of a Polish newspaper, was detained by police less than a year after serving jail time for slandering Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Last year he spent three months in jail before getting a three-year sentence which was suspended. "(Police) have detained him, searched his apartment and said a criminal case had been launched against him for offences similar to the previous ones," said Anzelika Orechwo, head of the Union of Poles of Belarus.
