Five journalists in Belarus are on trial. The journalists are facing charges of "hurting national security," dodging taxes, and "inciting hatred."
The defendants could face up to 12 years in prison if convicted in a trial that opened in the Minsk City Court behind closed doors. Western diplomats and independent journalists were denied access.
Zolatava and three of her colleagues have been put on a list of "terrorists" by the country's top security agency that has retained its Soviet-era name, KGB.
