Official: It is impossible to "cleanse" Internet

It is almost impossible to "cleanse" the internet, Natallya Petkevich, a deputy head of the Belarusian president's administration, said on Monday on the 17 Seconds show of the Russia-Belarus television channel.  The House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Belarusian parliament, today is scheduled to pass the media law draft in the second reading.

Petkevich also said that criticism of the media legislation from independent media was not justified. She noted the problem has been raised artificially and is not a subject of concern for the majority of the Belarusian population.
