Radio 101.2 (Belarus)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Radio 101.2 was a radio station in the Belarusian capital of Minsk. From 1991 until 1998, the radio station, which is at the frequency 101.2, was broadcasting news and was not affiliated with the national government. However, due to circumstances that remain unknown today, the station was closed and was transferred over to the Belarusian Republican Youth Union, who still uses the radio today. The government has claimed that the station, and its frequency, was interfering with the radio communications of the Minsk police force. Independent groups claimed that this was another method by the government of Alexander Lukashenko to suppress the freedom of the press inside of Belarus.
