schema:articleBody	Security agents in Belarus on Tuesday searched the offices of the country's main independent news site Tut.by and the homes of several of its journalists, in a widening crackdown after a historic opposition movement last year. Tut.by's editor-in-chief Marina Zolotova told AFP that representatives of the state control committee's financial investigations department searched her home and the homes of several of her employees. "Representatives of security agencies also came to the newsroom," she said, adding that she was unable to get in touch with several Tut.by employees. The state control committee's financial investigations department, which confirmed the searches, is a powerful enforcement body that has previously targeted the opposition. It notably probed strongman President Alexander Lukashenko's opponent Viktor Babaryko, who was arrested two months before last August's presidential election. Babaryko has remained in custody since and is on trial for corruption and money laundering. Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus since 1994, claimed a sixth presidential term in last August's vote that the opposition and Western diplomats said was rigged. All of his opponents have since been jailed or have fled the ex-Soviet republic. The 66-year-old authoritarian leader faced down mass protests against his rule in the wake of the vote, with Belarusian law enforcement unleashing repressions that saw thousands of demonstrators detained and more than 400 people given lengthy jail terms. According to the Belarusian Association of Journalists, 16 journalists in the ex-Soviet country are currently behind bars as of Tuesday morning. On Monday, the BAJ reported that Tut.by journalist Lyubov Kasperovich was sentenced to 15 days in police custody for attending an unauthorised mass event. And in March, Tut.by journalist Katerina Borisevich was handed a sixth-month jail sentence for publishing leaked medical records of a protester who died during a rally last year. tk-emg/jbr/yad
