Roman Catholic priest Dmytro Malets, vicar of the Holy Cross parish in Lida, was detained for subscribing to “objectionable” resources.

This is reported by the Christian Vision Telegram channel.

Previously, the priest served in Novogrudok and became known for the fact that in 2023 he was going to be drafted into the Belarusian army. A farewell Mass was held in the church, but after the media publicity, the draft was canceled.

Today, Dmytro Malets has a court hearing under Part 1. 2, Art. 19.11 of the Administrative Code of the Republic of Belarus - distribution, production, storage, and transportation of information products containing calls for extremist activities or promoting such activities.
