Fox News
At least 64 people were arrested Tuesday by Belarusian authorities on charges commonly used to persecute dissidents, the Viasna center reported.
Viasna said that some political prisoners who had been released after serving their sentences were among those arrested.
It said that some of those detained had cooperated with a humanitarian project providing food for political prisoners and others who have found themselves in a desperate situation amid official reprisals. On Tuesday, the authorities branded the project, INeedHelpBY, as extremist, a designation that could trigger seven-year prison sentences for those who cooperate with it.
