Legal incidents edit

On February 25, 2009, the court of the Moskovsky district of the city of Brest, Belarus, declared the journal No. 7-8 to be extremist. In response, the international organization Reporters Without Borders noted that the administrative and judicial harassment of ARCHE Pachatak had begun since its inception in 1997.[6] They stated that the legal pursuit is a poor progress for press freedom in Belarus.[7][8]
