KYIV, Ukraine—The chief editor of one of Belarus’s leading independent news organisations has gone missing after police searched her home overnight, the country’s reporters’ association said on Wednesday, as authorities pursue a crackdown on dissent.
Online news agency BelaPAN had been unable to contact either Irina Levshyna or one of its reporters, Zakhar Shcherbakov, the association said. Shcherbakov’s home and that of a third BelaPAN reporter were also searched, it said.
