More media restrictions in Belarus
Index on Censorship and the Committee to Protect Journalists are reporting that the lower house of parliament in Belarus has approved a new bill that would change registration procedures for the traditional media and extend them to online media as well, forcing all web pages to be registered.
The draft law, which now has just a few steps before being passed to President Lukashenko for approval, also restricts any international funding to media organisations.
