Police in Belarus have detained noted historian Zaryna Kanapatskaya, the 45-year-old daughter of the late leader of the country's Tatar community, Ibrahim Kanapatski, amid an ongoing crackdown on dissent. Kanapatskaya was shown on state television on October 10 "confessing" to be a subscriber to "extremist" online sources and taking part in mass protests in 2020 against official results of a presidential vote, which saw the authoritarian ruler of the country, Alyaksandr Lukashenka, being declared the winner with the opposition saying the election was rigged.
