Belarusian journalist Pavel Dabravolski sentenced to nine years in prison for treason, amidst a government crackdown on the press.

The crackdown has led to more than sixty-five thousand arrests, beatings, and the shutdown of hundreds of independent media outlets. Twenty-eight journalists are now behind bars, and four independent Belarusian-language publishers have been labeled as extremist.
