Deutsche Welle reporter Alexandra Boguslavskaya was detained along with almost three dozen other journalists by Minsk police for document checks on Thursday. She was subsequently released after several hours in custody.

The Belarusian Interior Ministry said a group of journalists had been taken to a police station in the capital to check if they had valid accreditation, adding that those with the correct documents would be released. It denied the journalists had been arrested.

The journalists had been preparing to cover an evening anti-government demonstration in Minsk.
