| 19.03.200614:38 (GMT) | Belarus secret police officers in the early morning hours raided the Minsk apartment of Aleksei Mikhalevich, a top member of the anti- Lukashenko Belarus People's Front (BPF), Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported. The KGB agents confiscated information pamphlets and reportedly threatened Mikhalevich with violent retaliation, if his anti-Lukashenko work continued. Over the night the KGB also arrested more than a dozen BPF-linked student activists, a BPF official said. The group is one of the few organizations willing to demonstrate against the authoritarian Belarus President. Saturday saw arrests of more than twenty opposition workers and leaders across the country, said Sergei Vozniak, Milinkevich spokesman. Three Belarusian reporters also were detained. Belarus secret police targeted potentially subversive foreigners as well, with Belarus police on Saturday arresting or expelling four Russian journalists and seven Ukrainian students, the Interfax news agency reported.
