Belarus: Persecution of opposition figures spills over to families - BBC Newsnight

#Newsnight #BBCNews
Opposition figures in Belarus - a country that's a close ally of Russia - have been persecuted since the late 1990s - not only have they been jailed, but they've been allegedly killed - with their murders never solved.

Their families, though, were usually spared. Now that appears to be changing: BBC Russian’s Maria Jevstafjeva has spoken to two exiled Belarusian activists who believe their loved ones were arrested in retaliation for the anti-government actions of their fathers.
