Belarusian Police Hold Man Over Porn on TV

Belarusian investigators said on Monday that an employee of a Belarusian music TV channel has been detained for allegedly airing pornographic footage on the channel after quarreling with his girlfriend.  On Saturday afternoon, the BelMuzTV channel aired several music videos by the Belarusian rock band Lyapis Trubetskoi, which is unofficially banned on local television, followed by ten minutes of pornographic footage. The TV employee responsible then fled the building, according to investigators. “The suspect, an employee of the channel [was] born in 1985, was detained in [the city of] Mogilev, and has been brought to Minsk… He is already being interrogated,” a source in Belarus’ law enforcement agencies told RIA Novosti on Monday. A spokesperson for the Belarusian investigative committee said that the suspect blamed his actions on being depressed after arguing with his girlfriend, suggesting that his actions were not politically motivated. A criminal case has been opened into the public showing of pornography. The man faces up to four years in prison if charged and convicted.
