A number of organizations and individuals in Mahilyou, eastern Belarus, have petitioned the regional directorate of the State Security Committee (KGB) to put an end to the activities of neo-Nazi groups in the city, particularly followers of the Russian National Unity (RNYe), RFE/RL's Belarus Service reported on 15 June. "At the time when [the authorities] are seeking to destroy independent Belarusian organizations, nobody pays any attention to the RNYe," Zmitser Salauyou from the opposition Belarusian Popular Front told RFE/RL. "They openly paste their leaflets in public places and openly gather in the city center every Sunday."
