The press secretary of the Belarusian Interior Ministry, Olga Chemodanova, reacted to the publication of personal data of 1003 Belarusian police officers on the opposition channel Telegram NEXTA on the night of September 19. According to her, the Ministry of the Interior has the strength and the means to punish those responsible.

The internal affairs organs of Belarus have all the means and technologies that will make it possible to identify and prosecute the majority of the 1003 police officers guilty of data leakage, Olga Chemodanova, press secretary of the Ministry of the Interior of the republic, told the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.

According to her, with the help of the forces, means and technologies of the Ministry of the Interior, it is really possible to establish and prosecute the vast majority of those responsible for the leakage of personal data of law enforcement officers to the Internet.

Chemodanova did not elaborate.

On the night of September 19, the Belarusian opposition channel Telegram NEXTA published the data of 1,003 employees of the Interior Ministry with positions and dates of birth.

The personal database contains surnames, names, patronymic, dates of birth, city of residence, divisions where the security forces serve, their ranks and positions. The authors of the publication claim that they received this data from cyber guerrillas.

In a separate post, NEXTA provided detailed personal details of seven officers from Almaz’s special unit, who were named the killers of activist Alexander Taraikovsky and those responsible for the injuries to journalists and protesters.

Large-scale protest marches are held in Belarus on weekends. They are contacted by those who do not agree with the fraud in the country’s presidential elections and the violence of the security forces.

The Belarusian security forces violently dispersed the demonstrations, in particular with the use of stun grenades, rubber bullets and water cannons. During the protests, about 10,000 protesters were detained, hundreds were injured and wounded. According to official figures, four protesters died.

At the women’s march, which took place in Minsk on September 19, more than 240 people were sent into rice wagons. Opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who emigrated to Lithuania after the August 9 elections, said Belarusians are willing to anonymize security officers who carry out criminal orders.
