The German media company Gal Germani condemned the decision of the authorities in Belarus to put four DW journalists on the wanted list - Olga Kapustina, Alexandra Bogoslavskaya, Ulyana Bobod and Ekaterina Krizhnovskaya. It is "an unacceptable attempt to criminalize independent journalism and intimidate journalists just because they are doing their jobs," DW chief executive Barbara Massing said. According to the publication, the search for its employees in Belarus is related to criminal cases of participation or creation of "extremist groups".
