The partner of The BDG – The Predprinimatelskaya Gazeta -- was warned for a change in themes of publications and the office address. The Information Ministry claims not to know, who seized 1,600 copies of The Predprinimatelskaya Gazeta with The BDG journalists’ materials. The Minsk city and regional police bodies claim that there’s no data on the confiscation of 1,600 copies of The Predprinimatelskaya Gazeta in the police records.
Another The BDG partner – The Solidarity weekly - fails to publish its issue, awaiting the outcomes of investigation by the Committee for State Control.
Even now, one day after the incident, it remains mystery who seized the tenth part of the print run of the joint issue of The Predprinimatelskaya Gazeta and The BDG. Editorial boards of both journals failed to find it out, though they had contacted various Interior Ministry’s bodies.
