Siarhei Chabotska, the owner of the website s13.ru, was arrested on October 23, 2024. First he was sentenced three times to 15 days for "distribution of extremist materials", and then a criminal case was opened.

The website s13.ru was recognized by the KGB of Belarus as an "extremist formation", so it is likely that Siarhei's case is related to it.
