Belarus has designated a leading Polish Catholic weekly as extremist after it published critical coverage of the Belarusian government. The move adds to concerns about restrictions on independent journalism and cross-border media, particularly outlets reporting on political and religious issues. Authorities’ decision could expose the publication, its staff, and readers to legal or administrative pressure under Belarusian law. The designation also risks worsening relations with Poland and intensifying scrutiny of media as Minsk continues tightening controls over public information and dissent.
