Indymedia Belarus does not supporting neither Zubr, nor USA government. It’s stated in indymedia social contract.
I personally dislike Zubr very much, Zianon Pazniak also. Ideologically they are neoliberals or christian conservators and it’s shit. I personally does as much as I can while working in local newspapers to show the nature and bad sides of those movements.
BUT there’s a facts. Facts are that few members of those movements were arrested in two days after president campaign starts.
So, I think, it’s quite important information to collect it. It doesn’t mean call for support of movements. But I believe that filtering of information on ideological basis is wrong.
I believe that Indymedia is a resource to share information that is significant and/or important. And ignoring information about arrests on the only reason that somebody do political advertising, or that the imprisoned activists are not “ideologically clear”—is just another instance of censorship.
People are imprisoned, I feel solidarity for_people. Movements make self-advertising and calls for support—fuck them, I’m just collecting facts, not advertisements.
There’s too much possibility for any political activist to trap in such situation, so I think, monitoring of arrests WITHOUT political advertising is one of right things to do.
